Reviewer Flashcards
Stages of Hemostasis
Vasoconstriction
Primary Hemostasis
Secondary Hemostasis
Fibrinolysis
secretes vWF and tissue factor (F3)
Endothelial cells
causes fibrinolysis, activates plasminogen
tPA
stops platelet aggregation
Prostacyclin
injury to subendothelial wall/ exposed collagen, vWF attaches to collagen with GPIb (Platelet Adhesion), Platelets attach and produce GIIb/IIIa and fibrinogen (Platelet aggregation)
Platelet activation
-APTT
-Factors 12,11,9,8
-HMWK activates 12a and 11a
-Activated by collagen
Intrinsic Pathway
-PT
-Factor 7, 3
Tissue factor (3) causes factor 7 activation
Extrinsic pathway
-starts at Factor 10
-Prothrombin converts to thrombin
Common pathway
-converts fibrinogen to fibrin
-activates Factor 13 to support fibrin clot
-Activates Protein C
Thrombin
Vitamin K dependent factors
2, 7, 9, 10
Prothrombin group
2, 7, 9, 10
Fibrinogen group
1, 5, 8, 13
plasminogen activates plasmin to dissolve clot
Fibrinolysis
-attacks fibrin to degrade it into FDP and D-dimers
-Fibrinogen goes into FDP
-Fibrin goes into D-dimers
Plasmin
-neutralizes thrombin, 9a, 10a, 11a, 12a, and plasmin
-heparin acts as cofactor to stop coagulation
Antithrombin inhibitor
-most potent fibrinolytic inhibitor
-alpha-2 antiplasmin
-neutralizes plasmin when clot is gone
Antiplasmin inhibitor
complexes with Protein S
Protein C
-cofactor to APC
-inactivates 5a and 8a
Protein S
