Secondary Hemostasis Flashcards
secondary hemostasis generates (blank) which stabilizes the PLT plug
thrombin
Thrombin converts fibrinogen to (blank)
fibrin
The formation of fibrin allows it to be (blanked) to generate strength
cross-linked
Where are the coagulation factors produced?
in the liver
T/F: coag factors are produced in an inactive state
true
What is the activating substance for the extrinsic (activates VII) pathway?
tissue thromboplastin (TT)
What is the activating substance for the intrinsic (activates XII) pathway?
subendothelial collagen (SEC)
What are the three things needed to activate the coag cascade?
- activating factor (SEC or TT)
- phospholipid surface of PLTs
- Calcium from PLT dense granules
What distinguishes 2ry hemostatic disease from 1ry?
2ry causes deept tissue bleeding into muscles and joints (hemarthrosis) and rebleeding after surgical procedures (circumcision and tooth extraction common)
What factors are in the intrinsic pathway?
12, 11, 9, 8
What factors are in the extrinsic (tissue factor) pathway?
7; 7 is lucky, luck is extrinsic
What factors are in the common pathway?
5, 2, 1
What factors are activated by Vit. K?
2, 7, 9, 10, C, S
(PT/PTT) measures the extrinsic pathway (7)
PT; TT activates 7, PT and TT both have 2 letters
(PT/PTT) measures the intrinsic pathway (12)
PTT; SEC activates 12, PTT and SEC both have 3 letters
Hemophilia A is caused by a def of what factor?
AAAAAAAAA-8!
What is the mode of inheritance in males of hemophilia A?
x-linked
T/F: hemophilia A can present with no family history
true
What is the most common presentation of hemophilia a?
deep tissue bleeding after surgery
T/F: severity of hemophilia A is in a range depending on how def you are
true
What are the lab values for hemophilia a? PT/PTT factor levels PLT bleeding time
HI PTT normal PT low FVIII NORMAL PLT normal bleeding time (if superficial can use primary hemostasis)
How do you treat hemophilia A?
recombinant FVIII
What is Christmas disease ?
hemophilia B, factor 9 def
What is the only difference between hemophilia A and B?
B has a 9 def
