WK11: Disorders of Thrombosis Flashcards
nappropriate formation of platelet or fibrin clots or excessive clot that obstruct blood vessels inhibiting blood flow
Thrombosis
The PREDISPOSITION for thrombosis
Thrombophilia or
HYPERCOAGULABILITY
Clot that travels away from the its source
Embolus
Major factors in the formation of thrombosis
Endothelial Injury
Hypercoagulability
Abnormal Blood Flow
Ongoing coagulation process and sometimes there is an overreaction forming tremendous amount of blood clots
Hypercoagulability
Kunitz-1: inhibits VIIa:TF complex Kunitz-2: inhibits Xa
TFPI (Kunitz)
Inhibits Va and VIIIa
APC
Inhibits thrombin, IXa, Xa, Contact grp (XI, XII, Prekalikrein, HMWK)
AT
Antithrombin III
Inhibits Xa and XIa
ZPI
Cofactor of APC and TFPI
Protein S
Solely Inhibits thrombin
Heparin cofactor II
Binds to thrombin to activate Protein C
Thrombomodulin
most common form of venous thrombosis
DVT (deep vein thrombosis)
Most common cause of myocardial infarction and strokes
Arterial Thrombosis
occurs in atherosclerosis composed of fats, platelets, calcium deposits
White thrombi
deficiency involved in liver disease, proteinuria, prolonged heparin therapy and DIC
AT deficiency
AT s decreased/ absent (type I or II)
Type I
Nonfunctional AT (type I or II)
Type II
Non-specific; diagnose type I and II AT deficiency
AT activity Assay
In AT activity assay the substrate end color is _____
yellow
True or False:
When the substate is less yellow there is less AT
False (indirectly proportional - less yellow, more AT)
Diminished light (Decreased AT)
Type 1
Normal (non-functional AT)
Type 2
Activator of APC
Thrombin-thrombomodulin complex
