SECONDARY HEMOSTASIS Flashcards
Primary site of coagulation factor production.
Liver (except Factors III and IV).
Major production site of Factor VIII.
Liver (vWF portion made by megakaryocytes and endothelial cells).
Coagulation factors increased in liver disease.
Factors I and VIII.
Coagulation factor with the shortest half-life.
Factor VII (6 hours).
Effect of acute liver dysfunction on Factor VII.
Levels of Factor VII reduced early; PT is a good test for liver function.
Transmission pattern for coagulation factor deficiencies.
Most are autosomal recessive; Factor VIII and IX are X-linked recessive.
Other name for Factor I.
Fibrinogen.
Most concentrated plasma procoagulant.
Fibrinogen.
Fibrinogen molecular weight.
340,000 Daltons.
Fibrinogen half-life.
100 to 150 hours.
Fibrinogen plasma concentration.
200 to 400 mg/dL.
Effect of fibrinogen <100 mg/dL on PT and aPTT.
Both PT and aPTT prolonged.
Role of fibrinogen in platelet aggregation.
Links activated platelets through GP IIb/IIIa receptor.
Storage and release of fibrinogen.
Stored and released by platelet alpha granules.
Fibrinogen level increase in elderly.
Increases 10 mg/dL per decade (1 mg/dL per year).
