Normal epithelium combats clotting via several factors. Name 3.
|
1. Releases NO & prostacyclin - plt inhibitors
2. releasesTPA - activates plaminogen -> plasmin which breaks down fibrin(ogen) 3. Releases heparin like glycoaminosides 4. Degrades ADP(a platelet activator) by releasing ADPase |
|
What are the 3 steps in platelet clot formation
|
1. Adhesion
2. Activation 3. Aggregation |
|
How does Adhesion of plt begin and what factors and receptors are involved
|
Extracellular matrix (ECM) exposes vWF which allows for formation of ECM-vWF-(glycogen ib/!X/V)-Platelet complex
|
|
What occurs during platelet activation (what do platelets release)
|
Platelets release alpha granules (contain clotting and activation factors) and dense bodies (contain Ca, epi and other pro kinetic molecules)
|
|
How does Heparin function
|
It stimulates Anti-thrombin ~ 1000 fold. Anti-thrombin blocks thrombin(IIa) which is responsible for fibrinogen -> firbrin and amplification of other cascades
|
|
Function of factor VII
|
Binds to TF at site of injury and is activated to VIIa. This complex converts IX and X to their activated form
|
|
Function of factor X/Xa.
|
Factor Xa is localized to injury site and complexes with fVa. Xa/Va loacally catalyzes prothrombin -> thrombin
|
|
How does thrombin affect the vWF/fVIII complex?
|
It seperates them (this occurs locally at site of injury) which activates VIII which starts pro-clop loop
|
|
What function does fIXa have?
|
It bined to platelet to aid in plt activation
|
|
What are the 3 major coagulation inhibiting mechanisms
|
1. Serpins (Antithrombin, TFPI)
2. Heparin 3. anticoagulant proteases (protein C -> inactivates Va & VIIIa. Protein S -> accelerates action of protein C |
|
Which factors are Vit K dependent
|
VII, IX, X, prothrombin, protein C & protein S
|
|
What factors can lead to vitamin K deficiency
|
1. malnutrition
2. impaired intestinal absorbtion (obst jaundice, sprue) 3. compromised bacterial flora 2/2 antibiotics |
|
How does liver disease affect clotting
|
All factors except VIII are synthesized in liver. VII has the shortest half live
|
|
What percentage of of pts on heparin will develop HIT
|
5%
|
|
Causes of thrombocytopenia (during pregnancy too
|
1. HIT
2. During pregnancy (GI, preeclampsia, HELLP - hemolysis, incr lft, low plt) 3. splenic sequestration |
|
Prolonged PT with nl PTT is indicative of
|
fVII deficiency
|
