24
Q

What are Ab that recognized self Ag

A

autoAb

25
Q

what are Ab that recognize non-self Ag

A

alloAb

26
Q

When can alloAb arise

A

when platelets are transfused

cross placenta durign pregnancy

27
Q

Most important non immunoe causes of decreased platelet survival are what

A

DIC, thrombotic microangiopathies

mechanical injury

28
Q

how much of platelets can spleen sequester

A

80-90%

29
Q

what is dilutional thrombocytopenia

A

massive transfusions can produce a dilutional thrombocytopenia

30
Q

What causes chronic ITP

A

autoAb mediated destruction of platelets

31
Q

What conditions can lead to secondary chronic ITP

A

SLE, HIV, B cell neoplasms like CLL

32
Q

autoAb are usually against what in chronic ITP

A

membrane glycoproteins IIb-IIIa or Ib-IX

IgG

33
Q

What is a good Tx for chornic ITP

A

splenectomy because thats where the opsonized platelets from autoAb are remobed

34
Q

is there splenomegaly in chronic ITP?

A

no

35
Q

what does BM look like in chronic ITP

A

increased # megakaryocytes

36
Q

what will PS look like in chronic IT

A

abnormally large platelets

sign of thrombopoiesis

37
Q

population affected by chronic ITP

A

adult women younger than 40 y.o

3:1 F:M

38
Q

clinical signs ITP

A

insidious onset, bleeding into the skin and mucosal surfaces
pinpoint hemorrhages that can lead to ecchymoses
Hx easy bruisning and nosebleeds
melena, hematuria or excessive menstural dlow

39
Q

fatal complications of chronic ITP

A

subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracerebral hemorrhage

40
Q

PT and PTT in chronic ITP

A

normal

41
Q

What causes acute ITP

A

autoAb to platelets

42
Q

When does acute ITP occur

A

childhood disease 1- 2 weeks post viral illness

43
Q

Tx for acute ITP if severe

A

glucocorticoids

44
Q

Which cases of acute ITP are mroe severe

A

without viral prodrome the thrombocytopenia persists and usually progress to chronic ITP

45
Q

What drugs most commonly assoc with inducing thrombocytopenia

A

quinine, quinidine, vancomycin by binding platelet glycoptoeins and creating antigenic determinants

46
Q

how do platelet inhibitory drugs lead to thrombocytopenia

A

induce conformational changes in glycoprotein IIb IIIa and create immunogenic epitope

47
Q

What is type I Heparin induced thrombocytopenia

A

rapidly after onset of therapy,

from direct platelet aggregating effect of heparin

48
Q

What is type II HIT

A

5-14 days post Tx and usually leads to life threatening venous and arterial thrombosis

49
Q

What cuases HIT type II

A

Ab recognize heparin complexes and paltelet factor 4 so when they bind activates platelets and thrombosis

50
Q

How does HIV lead to thrombocytopenia

A

impaired platelet production and increased destruction

development of auto Ab in B cell hyperplasia

51
Q

Thrombotic microangiopathy includes what

A

many syndromes

TTP HUS

52
Q

what are thrombotic microangiopathies

A

insult that lead to activation of platelets that deposit as thrombi in small blood vessels

53
Q

What is the pentad of TTP

A

fever, thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, transient neurologic deficits and renal failure.

54
Q

how is HUS distinguished from TTP

A

absence of nuerologic Sx and has acute renal failure

frequent in children

55
Q

Intravascular thrombi in TTP and HUS lead to what

A

microangiopathic hemolytic anemia with widespread organ dysgunction and thrombocytopenia

56
Q

why are TTP and HUS different than DIC

A

actication of coagulation cascade not primary importance

normal PT and PTT

57
