Thrombosis II Flashcards
endo cells release to stop platelet aggregation
NO, PGI2, adenosine diphosphatase
endo cells to inhibit 2, 9, 10, 11, 12
HSPG - activates antithrombin
heparan sulfate proteoglycan
endo inhibition of Va and VIIIa
thrombomodulin > thrombin
- thrombin then activates protein C
- with protein S - goes to inactivate Va and VIIIa
endo cell inhibition of VIIa/TF and Xa
TFPI
tPA activity
converts plasminogen to plasmin
-plasmin then causes fibrinolysis
fibrin > fibrin degradation products
antithrombin
is antithrombin III
- neutralizes active serine proteases
- inhibits 2a, 9a, 10a, 12a
- mainly - IIa and Xa - no fibrin
heparin
increases antithrombin binding 1000x
no prolonged PT - but will see it with overdose
two main effects of antithrombin
1 inhibit factor Xa - decreased thrombin production
2 inhibit thrombin (IIa) from activating fibrinogen
tPa
binds fibrin
-forms plasminogen > plasmin
urokinase
from endo cells
-forms plasminogen > plasmin
XIIa pathway
converts plasminogen to plasmin
three things increasing plasmin
tPA
urokinase
XIIa pathway
all induce rapid clot dissolution
D dimer positive
indicates that clotting and fibrinolysis is occuring**
D dimer is portion of fibrin polymer once it is lysed
fibrin split products
older test - indicate plasmin breaking down fibrin
high thrombin, low plasmin
thrombosis
low thrombin, high plasmin
hemorrhage
low fibrin or platelets
hemorrhage
arterial thrombus
ischemia / infarction distal to thrombus
