SESAP Hemostasis/Coagulation Flashcards
In vivo coagulation - First phase?
Platelet plug
Platelet adhesion requires
glycoprotein 1b + vWF
Platelet aggregation requires
glycoprotiein IIb/IIIa reception and fibrinogen
What also occurs with platelet plug formation?
Vasoconstriction
Coagulation pathways -
primary method of coagulation in vivo ?
- exposed TF from subendothelium
- TF complexes with F7.
- active F7 activates F10
- active F 10 activated F2 (thrombin)
- THROMBIN IS LIFE…. thrombin activates F5
Coagulation pathways -
secondary method of coagulation in vivo ?
- active F7 activates F9 (Hemophillia b, A = 8)
Coagulation pathways -
tertiary method of coagulation in vivo ?
- active F2. activates F11
2. active F11 activates F9, F10 (potentiates F2)
What is thrombin?
What does it do?
- Thrombin is everything. Factor 2
- Activated by F10
- Activates F5, F11
- Fibronigen to fibrin
- platelet aggregator
Coagulation factors -
not in liver?
require Vit K?
- F8, vWF, AT III
2. 2,7,9,10
Nature’s anticoagulation systems - name the three
- TFPI –> blocks TF-7A complex
- Protein C/S –> protein C + cofactor protein S blocks 5, 8 with the help of thrombin
- ATIII–> attaches to thrombin + F10.
How to treat ATIII deficiency?
Resistant to Heparin. Treat with FFP
recurrent thrombosis in arterial/venous systems.
How to treat Protein C deficiency?
young patients. giving warfarin will cause skin necrosis.
Factor V Leiden mutation?
activated protein C resistance –> recurrent thrombosis –> LMWH.
Last phase of hemostasis – fibrinolysis
What is this?
Plasminogen –> plasmin to cleave Fibrin.
hypoxia and acidosis release tPa, UPA from endothelial cells –> in break down of clot.
a-2 antiplasmin blocks fibrinolysis
HIT -
- Presentation?
- Workup?
- Treatment?
- > 50% drop in Tb
- IgG, pF3. ELISA for anti-heparin pF3/PF4 Ab.
- Argatroban (metabolized in liver/RENAL FAILURE PATIENTS); Fonduparinox (metabolized in renal/USE IN LIVER FAILURE)
