22 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
pseudothrombocytopenia
lab manifestation

due to antibody activation by EDTA-Calcium in the lab reagent -> platelet clump

need to rerun test with citrate
immune thrombocytopenia diagnosis
disease associated

IgG against P1-A1 antigen

adequate marrow magakaryocytes, but low platelet

platets are large and grandulated
post transfusion purpura
rare

thrombocytopenia lasting 10-60 days

onset is 5-10 after transfusion of blood

often in women - pregnancy

alloimmuinizaiton against P1-A1 antigen - effected patients dont have the antigen so make antibodies to it
treatment of post transfusion purpura
gamma globulin (IVIg)
drugs causing immune thrombocytopenia
sulfa

gold

heparin

quinidine
heparin induced thrombocytopenia
onset 7-14 days post heparin exposure

factor 4

IgG

thrombosis AND hemorrhage

if have HIT, stop all heparin even LMWH, give ACTIVE therapy - lepirudin etc...NO WARFARIN
when do you give lepirudin vs agatroban
lepiruden cannot be used in patients with renal problems

agatroban cannot be used in patients with liver problems
Quinine induced thrombocytopenia
severe thrombocytopenia < 10000 platelets

thrombosis not a problem, massive bleeding

antibody to hapten/glycoproein1b
general treatment for drug induced thrombocytopenia
remove drug

IVIg
Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura 5 main characteristics
thrombocytopenia

microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (inc LDH, see schizocytes)

neurologic dysfunction

renal dysfunction

fever
hemolyric uremic syndrome
thrombocytopenia

hemolytic anemia

renal failure


causes: mostly infection, ecoli O157;H7

primarily of infant onset
thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
IgG antibodies against ADAMTS13

need ADAMTS13 to break vWF into small fragments

get clots -> mechanical damage to RBC

fatal if not treatment

treat with plasma infusion/exchange

IVIg no effect
Thrombocytopenia of Pregnancy and preclampsia
HELLP syndrome

(H)emolysis

(E)levated (L)iver enzyme

(L)ow (P)latetlet count

treat: deliver child, will resolve
T/F thrombocytopenia is physiologic in pregnancy
true
Thrombocytopenia associated hemophilia
treat like chronic ITP with steroid, IVIg splenectomy
Thrombocytopenia associated with HIV
marrow megkaryocytes supressed

immune complex

antiplatlet antibodies
Hypersplenism
normal spleen 1/3 platelets sequester

in hyperspleen 90% sequester

see palpable spleen
platelets slightly low
bone marrow normal
megakaryocyte normal
gray platelet syndrome
alpha storage pool deficiency
dense granule deficiency
delta storage pool deficiency
glanzmann Thromboasthenia
GP IIb/IIIa deficiency

looks like platelet type problem

treat with platelets
Bernard soulier
deficient GP Ib

lack vWF factor platelet binding - no adhesion

platelet type bleeding pattern

treat with platelet transfusion
thrombocytosis treatment
don't use antiplatelet agents unless there is a myeloproliferative disorder

preop platelets greater than 1 million need reduction of platelet
