THROMBOTIC DISORDERS Flashcards
Is the inappropriate formation of a platelet or fibrin clot that obstructs a blood vessel
Thrombosis
Is a multifaceted disorder resulting from circulatory stasis and abnormalities in the coagulation system, coagulation control mechanisms, platelet function, the blood vessel wall, or leukocyte activation molecules
Thrombosis
Causes ischemia and necrosis
Thrombosis
Also known as hypercoagulability
Thrombophilia
Is the predisposition to thrombosis secondary
to a congenital or acquired condition
Thrombophilia
Known causes of Thrombophilia
• Physical, chemical, or biological events.
• Uncontrolled platelet activation and blood coagulation system activation.
• Blood coagulation control protein deficiencies. • Uncontrolled suppression of fibrinolysis
Confer a risk of venous/arterial thrombosis (a condition called
antiphospholipid syndrome or APS
A cardinal sign of APML is DIC secondary to the release of procoagulant granule contents from malignant promyelocytes
Myeloproliferative neoplasms
Caused by stem cell mutation that modifies membrane-anchored platelet activation suppressors
PNH
most common inherited thrombosis risk factor
FVL gene mutation
second most common inherited thrombophilia in patients with a personal and family history of deep vein thrombosis
Prothrombin G20210A gene mutation
Thrombosis is often associated with a combination of genetic defect, disease, and lifestyle influences
Thrombosis Double Hit
Laboratory Evaluation of Thrombophilia
1.
Antiphospholipid antibodies (LAC, ACL, and Anti-B2-GPI)
Activated protein C resistance and Factor V 2.
Leiden mutation Prothrombin G20210A 3.
4. Antithrombin
5. Protein C control pathway
Comprise a family of immunoglobulins that bind protein-phospholipid complexes
Antiphospholipid Antibodies
APLAs arise as what immunoglobulin
IgG or IgG
Antiphospholipid Antibodies are sometimes called
Nonspecific inhibitors
the plasma protein most often bound
to APLAs
B2-GPI
Most APLAs arise in response to a bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infection or to treatment with one of a variety of drugs
Transient alloimmune APLAs
autoantibodies that arise in collagen vascular diseases, SLE, RA, scleroderma, and Sjogren’s syndrome
Aitoimmune APLA
sign of occult adenocarcinoma such as cancer of the pancreas or colon.
Migratory thrombophlebitis, or Trousseau syndrome
creates protein imbalances that lead to thrombosis through loss of plasma proteins such as antithrom- bin.
Nephrotic Syndrome
throm- botic event occurs in young adults; occurs in unusual sites such as the mesenteric, renal, or axillary veins; is recurrent; or occurs in a patient with a family history of thrombosis (Table 39.3). Because thrombosis is multifactorial, however, even patients with congenital thrombophilia are most likely to experience thrombotic events because of a combination of constitutional and acquired conditions.
Congenital Thrombosis Risk Factors
inadequate dietary folate, vitamin B6, or vitamin B12 levels and with polymorphisms affected the function of methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) in the methionine metabolic pathway.
antithrombin
may exist in the absence of the FVL mutation and is occasionally acquired in pregnancy or in association with oral contraceptive therapy
APC Resistance
most common inherited thrombosis risk factor,
FVL gene mutation
mutation is the second most common inherited thrombophilia in patients with a personal and family history of deep vein thrombosis.
prothrombin G20210A
associated with a combination of genetic defect, disease, and lifestyle influences.
Thrombosis Double Hit
Antiphospholipid antibodies
comprise a family of immuno- globulins that bind protein-phospholipid complexes.
