Q

Vitamin K Dependent

A

Factors II, VII, IX, X. Proteins C and S

Q

Thrombin Functions (5)

A

Cleaves Fibrinogen to Fibrin
Activates V and VIII for prothrombinase/intrinsic
Activates XI to create more IXa
Activates XIII to strengthen/stabilize clot
Platelet Activation (flip phosphatidylserine)

Q

Factor V Leiden

A

Factor V PM that makes it resistant to Protein C

17
Q

PT/INR

A

Measures extrinsic pathway (II, V, VII, X)

Differential includes Vitamin K or liver issue

18
Q

APTT

A

Measures entire pathway but most sensitive for high factor numbers (VIII, IX, XI)
Prolonged in hemophilia
Monitor Heparin therapy

19
Q

Thrombin Time

A

Measures fibrinogen

Sensitive to heparin

20
Q

Bleeding Time

A

Measures platelet-Vessel interaction

Not affected by coagulation factor abnormalities

21
Q

PFA

A

In vitro bleeding test, also tests platelet response to agonists
