Principles of coagulation Flashcards
When there is injury to a blood vessel what happens before the formation of the primary hemostatic plug?
vasoconstriction
Why does a blood vessel constrict immediately after injury?
to slow down the blood and allows all the coagulation factors time to interact
What clotting factor deficiency does a pt possibly have if s/he has:
normal PT and prolong PTT
8, 9, 11, 12, prekalikrein, HMWK
What clotting factor deficieincy does a pt possibly have if s/he has:
normal PT and prolong PTT and is bleeding
8, 9, 11 (or vWF)
What clotting factor deficieincy does a pt possibly have if s/he has:
normal PT and prolong PTT, is bleeding, low factor VIII
hemophilia or vWF deficiency
What clotting factor deficieincy does a pt possibly have if s/he has:
normal PT and prolong PTT, is bleeding, low factor VIII, low vWF
vWF deficiency
What clotting factor deficieincy does a pt possibly have if s/he has:
normal PT and prolong PTT, is bleeding, low factor VIII, normal vWF
hemophilia
What clotting factor deficieincy does a pt possibly have if s/he has:
normal PT and normal PTT and pt is still bleeding
factor XIII deficiency
What clotting factor deficieincy does a pt possibly have if s/he has:
prolong PT and normal PTT
7 deficiency
What factors are measured with PT?
7, 5, 10, prothrombin (2), fibrinogen
- extrinsic pathway
What factors are measured with PTT?
everything but 7 (and 13)
*intrinsic
What clotting factor deficiency does a pt possibly have if s/he has:
prolong PT and prolong PTT
10, 5, prothrombin (is this right?)
T or F: antithrombic counter regulation occurs only after the formation on the secondary hemostatic clot
F: it occurs the entire time a clot is forming
What clotting factors are serine proteases?
11, 9, 7, prothrombin (2)
What clotting factors are cofactors?
12, 8, 5, tissue factor (3)
What are the vitamin K dependent clotting factors?
2, 7, 9, 10
protein S and C
What is the role of vitamin K in the activity of some of the clotting factors?
it is needed for the carboxylation of glutamic acid residues. Without the carboxylation, these clotting factors canot adhere to the a phospholipid membrane
Elevated F1.2 indicates….
elevated thrombin (bc active thrombin makes F1.2)
What does von Willebrand’s disease and hemophilia have in common?
low factor 8
