Q

What are some conditions that create increased platelet function?

A
  • atherosclerosis
  • DM
  • Smoking
  • elevated blood lipid and cholesterol levels
  • increased platelet levels
25
what are some conditions that cause accelerated activity of the coagulation system?
- pregnancy - use of oral contraceptives - post surgical state - sepsis/systemic inflammation - injury - CHF - malignant diseases - stress
26
arterial thrombi are associated with?
conditions that produce turbulent blood flow and platelet adherence
27
Venous thrombi are associated with?
conditions that cause stasis of blood flow with increased concentrations of coagulation factors
28
throbocytosis
elevations in platelet count
29
erythromelagia
painful throbbing and burning of the fingers cause by occlusion of the arteries and platelet aggregates
30
Tx for hypercoagubility due to increased platelet function
platelet lowering drugs such as hydroxyurea in high risk cases and aspirin as an adjunct
31
what carries a high risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes?
hypercoagubility due to increased clotting activity
32
antiphospholipid syndrome
a condition associated with autoantibodies directed against protein-binding phospholipids that result in increased coagulation activity
33
what factors predisposes the vessel to damage, platelet adherence and eventual thrombosis?
smoking, elevated levels of blood lipids and cholesterol, hemodynamic stress and diabetes mellitus
34
what is the MoA of aspirin?
blocks thromboxane A2 in degranulation as well as COX 1 inhibition resulting in decreased platelet aggregation
35
what is the MoA of clopidogrel
blocks ADP receptors in platelets, inhibiting activation and aggregation, thereby extending clotting times
36
Therapeutic effects and uses of clopidogrel
- reduce risk of CVA/MI - Reduces thrombolytic events post CVA/MI - Prevent DVT - Prevent thrombi formation in unstable angina/coronary stents
37
What are some adverse effects of Clopidogrel (plavix)?
- headache, dizziness - flu-like syndrome - diarrhea - bruising - upper respiratory tract infection - rash, pruritus
38
Serious adverse effect of clopidogrel
abnormal bleeding
39
Indications of Glycoprotein (abciximab)
- acute coronary syndrome | - percutaneous coronary intervention
40
MoA of glycoprotein (abciximab)
prevents platelet activation and aggregation by blocking glycoprotein
41
adverse effects of glycoprotein
- back and chest pain - hypotension - abnormal bleeding
42
what can be a sign of internal bleeding?
hypotension
43
What is the therapeutic margin of PTT?
usually 2x the normal value
44
therapeutic effects and uses of heparin
- acute thromboembolic disorders including DVT, PE, unstable angina and evolving MI - prophylaxis for clotting (orthopedics)
45
what are some of the advantages of direct thrombin inhibitors/Xa inhibitors?
- PO - high efficacy of preventing stroke - convenient - minor drug and food interactions - predictable PK and PD - rapid onset and offset - short-half life - no need for lab testing
46
what is a risk of immune thrombocytopenia purpura?
intracranial hemorrhage
47
what are the therapeutic effects and uses of Amicar?
- aplastic anemia - hepatic cirrhosis - postoperative cardiac surgery
48
von willebrand disorder is a disorder of decreased...?
platelet adhesion
49
petechiae and purpura are common manifestations of?
thrombocytopenia
50
- X-linked recessive disorder (primarily males). - Mutation in the factor VIII gene. bleeding occurs in soft tissues, the gastrointestinal tract, and the hip, knee, elbow, and ankle joints. - Spontaneous joint bleeding usually begins when a child begins to walk. - Tx: factor VIII products
Hemophilia A
51
- deficiency of factor IX, | - It is genetically and clinically similar to hemophilia A.
hemophilia B
52
- Spontaneous bleeding (nose, mouth, gastrointestinal tract), - excessive menstrual flow, - prolonged bleeding time with normal platelet count. - Tx: VIII/vWF concentrate
Von Willebrand disease
53
Von Willebrand disease is caused by?
Deficiency of factor VIII and poor platelet function
