What does heparan sulfate do?
|
Catalyzes activation of ATIII by heparin
|
|
What does vWF do?
|
Tethers platelets to site of vessel wall inury
|
|
What happens to thrombomodulin, heparan, PGI2, and tPA after injury?
|
They get stripped away or are no longer produced
This removes anti-coagulants Allows coagulation to proceed towards healing |
|
On what cells is tissue factor found (2)?
|
Cells of sub-endothelial layer
Monocytes migrating to injury |
|
What does "flipase" do?
|
Flips PS (phosphotidyl serine) to outside of membranes
Makes PS available to help catalyze reactions |
|
What is calcium's role in coag?
|
Catalyzes rxns. by promoting attachment of enzymes/zymogens to surface
|
|
PT monitors which pathway?
|
Extrinsic pathway
|
|
aPTT monitors which pathway?
|
Intrinsic pathway
|
|
In a LAB aPTT, what factors activate the intrinsic coag pathway?
How is this different from in the body? |
Factor XII, prekallikrein, and HMWK
In the body, Factor XI initiates the intrinsic pathway NOTE: deficiencies of FXII and its activators will prolong the aPTT (BUT, they will NOT cause bleeding) |
|
What does factor XIII do?
|
Transglutaminates fibrin, stabilzing clots
|
|
What is prolonged first in Vitamin K deficiency?
PT or aPTT |
PT
Factor VII falls first, so PT is prolonged |
|
What is included in an aPTT assay in a lab (3)?
|
"Activator" -- pre-kallikrein, HMWK
Phoshpolipid Calcium |
|
What is included in a PT assay in a lab (3)?
|
Tissue factor
Phospholipid Calcium NOTE: thromboplastin = tissue factor + phospholipids |
|
Where does the Vitamin K dependent carboxylation occur?
|
In the liver
|
|
What factors does thrombin feedback affect to accelerate coag?
|
Factors V, VIII, XI, XIII
|
|
What is EDTA?
|
Calcium chelator
Can be used as an anti-coagulant |
|
What is Factor I
|
Fibrinogen
|
|
What is Factor II
|
Pro-thrombin
|
|
What is Factor III
|
Tissue factor
Primary cell initiator of coagulation |
|
What is Factor IV
|
Calcium
|
|
What is Factor XIII?
What does it do? |
Pro-glutaminase
Cross-links fibrin, stabilizing clots |
|
How do oral contraceptives affect coagulation?
|
Decrease the effectiveness of anti-thrombin III
May lead to increased venous thromboembolism |
|
How do different levels of thrombin affect Factors V and VIII?
|
Low levels - accelerate Factors V and VIII
High levels - breakdown Factors V and VIII (via Protein C pathway) |
|
What synthesizes Vitamin K-2?
|
Bacteria in the gut
NOTE: SO, treatment that kills gut bacteria can cause Vit K def |
|
How does bile duct obstruction play into coagulation?
|
Vit K is fat-soluble
If bile duct is obstructed, Vit K absorption is compromised |
