Coagulation

Process that leads to fibrin formation

Hemostasis

Coagulation that occurs in a physiological setting and results in sealing a break in the vasculature

Thrombosis

Coagulation that occurs jna pathological setting that leads to localized intravascular clotting and potential occlusion of a vessel

Thrombosis

Increase Pro Coagulation

Bleeding

Increase Anti Coagulation

Primary Hemostasis

Involves action of blood vessels and platelets

Primary Hemostasis

Usually occurs within 3-5 minutes

Primary Hemostasis

End product: formation of platelet plug that provides surface phospholipods for coagulation

Primary Hemostasis

Important events are platet adhesion, activation, secretion, aggregation

Secondary Hemostasis

Involves interaction of coagulation factors

Secondary Hemostasis

End product: stable fibrin clot

Secondary Hemostasis

Usually occurs within 10-30 minutes

Factor XIII

longest half-life

Factor VII

Shortest half-life

Factor XII, XI, IX, VIII

Intrinsic pathway

Factor III, VII

Extrinsic pathway

Factors X, V, I, II

Common pathway

Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor

Primary inhibitor of blood coagulation

Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor

If excess, may result to severe bleeding

Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor

Targets Factor VII and Xa

Antithrombin III

Non-Vitamin K dependent protease inhibitor

Antithrombin III

Major inhibitor of Thrombin/Factor IIa

Antithrombin III

Also inhibits Factors IXa, Xa, XIa, XIIa, Kallikrein and Plasmin

Protein S and Protein C

Degrades Factor Va & VIIIa

Fibrinolysis

Digestion of fibrin clot, keeps vascular system free of deposited fibrin

Fibrinolysis

Occurs when plasminogen is converted to plasmin

Plasminogen activators

Urokinase-like PA


Tissue-like PA


Streptokinase


Urokinase

Dysfunctional hemostasis

Easy bruising with induration

Dysfunctional hemostasis

Frequent/prolonged nosebleeds

Dysfunctional hemostasis

Heavy menstrual period

Dysfunctional hemostasis

Prolonged bleeding after surgery

Dysfunctional hemostasis

Prolonged/mucosal bledding after dental work

Primary Hemostasis

Immediate, superficial, mucosal

Primary Hemostasis

Petechiae, ecchymoses, more common in females

Primary Hemostasis

Immediate, local measures effective

Secondary Hemostasis

Delayed, deep joints

Secondary Hemostasis

Ecchymoses, hematoma, hemarthroses, only in males

Secondary Hemostasis

Requires sustained systemic therapy

Vascular Bleeding Disorders

Characterized by easy bruising and spontaneous bleeding from small vessels

Vascular Bleeding Disorders

With underlying abnormality in either vessel, bleeding - purpura, standard screening tests are normal

Thrombocytopenia

Decreased platelet production, increased destruction, platelet sequestration by spleen, and dilution of platelet count

Thombocytosis

Mucosal bleeding, petechiae, persistent bleeding from skin

Immune Thrombocutopenic Purpura

Decreased platelet count, normal PBS, Proliferation of megakaryocytes in BM biopsy

Oral Corticosteroids

First line of treatment for ITP

Splenectomy

Indicated for patients < 60 years old

IV-Ig; Anti-RhD

For immediate surgical intervention

Plasma pheresis

Removes antibodues to lower antibodies in circulation

Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Production of autoantibodies to Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Clinical syndrome wih high mortality that is by formation of microthrombi in microvasculature

Thombotic Thombocytopenic Purpura

Pentad of severe thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, fever, confusion, renal disease

Thombotic Thombocytopenic Purpura

Hematologic emrgency more common in females

Thombotic Thombocytopenic Purpura

Deficiency of metalloprotease ADAMTS13 that cleaves vWF

Thombotic Thombocytopenic Purpura

Decreased platelet count, presence of schistocytes/helmet cells and reticulocytosis in PBS, (-) Coomb's test, inc. LDH, B1, dec. Haptoglobin

Therapeutic plasma exchange

Standard of treatment for TTP

Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome

Common in children at 6 mos.-4 years of age

Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome
