Anticoagulants
tPA, heparin, PGI2, ATIII (antithrombin) protein C/S
Heparin
Enhances antithrombin activity (neutralizes all factors except V, VIII, fibrinogen)
Prostein C/S
Neutralize V and VIII
Von Willebrand Factor
Complexes with factor VIII to enhance VIII: C activity; platelet adhesion
Platelets
Receptor for von willebrand factor and fibrinogen; syntheize TXA2
GPIb
Platelet receptor for vWF
GpIIb/IIIa
Platelet receptor for ribrinogen
Extrinsic system factor
VII
Intrinsic System Factors
XII, XI, IX, VIII
Final common pathway factors
X, I, prothrombin (II), fibrinogen (I)
Factor XIII
Cross links insoluble fibrin; strengthens fibrin clots
Vitamin K dependent factors
Prothrombin (II), VII, IX, X, Protein C/S
Factors consumed in a clot
Fibrinogen, prothrombin, V, VIII, fluid is called serum
Plasmin
Cleaves fibrinogen and insoluble fibrin into degradation products
Bleeding time
Evaluates platelet function (adhesion, release reaction, aggregation)
Asprin
MCC of a prolonged bleeding time
PT
Evaluates extrinsic pathway to fibrin clot
PTT
Evaluates intrinsic pathway to stable fibrin clot
Fibrinolysis tests
Degradation prodcuts, D-dimers (cross linked insoluble fibrin)
S/S platelet dysfunction
Cannot form temporary plug; epistaxis; petechiae; bleeding from scratches
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)
Children; antibodies against GpIIb: IIIa; no splenomegaly
Chronic Autoimmune Thrombocytopenic Purpura
SLE; antibodies against GpIIb: IIIa receptors
Heparin
Thrombocytopenia due to IgG antibody against heparin attached to PF4 on platelets
PF4
Heparin neutralizing factor
HIV
Thrombocytopenia MC hematologic abnormality; similar to ITP
Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Platelet thrombi develop in areas of endothelial damage in small vessels; consumption of platelets
S/S TTP
Fever, thrombocytopenia, renal failure, hemolytic anemia with schistocytes, CNS deficits
Findings TTP
Thrombocytopenia, prolonged bleeding time, normal PT an dPTT
HUS
Similar to TTP; endothelial injury from Shiga like toxin of ETEC in undercooked beef
S/S Factor Deficiency
No stable fibrin clot; late rebleeding; menorrhagia; GI bleeding
Hemophilia A
XR; hemarthroses; prolonged PTT; Decreased factor VIII activity
Von wIllebrand's disease
platelet adhesion defect + factor VIII deficiency
Lab findings in vWD
Decreased vWF, VIII antige and VIII: C prolonged bleeding time
Vitamin K Deficiency
Decreased epoxide reductase activity (decreased function vitamin K); hemorrhagic diathesis; increased PT
Causes vitamin K deficiency
Antibiotics MC, newborn, malabsorption, warfarin
DIC
Activation coagulation system from release of tissue thromboplastin and/or endothelial cell damage

Consumption coagulation factors by fibrin clots; pt also anticoagulated
Causes DIC
Septic shock MCC; rattlesnake bite, massive trauma, amniotic fluid
Lab findings DIC
Thrombocytopenia; increased PT and PTT, D-dimers (beta test), anemia
Warfarin
Inhibits epoxide reductase, PT best test but PTT also prolonged

Full anticoagulation in three days when prothrombin dissappears
Rx Warfarin Overcoagulation
Intramuscular vitamin K, fresh frozen plasma (immediate)
Hemophilia A
XR; hemarthroses; prolonged PTT; Decreased factor VIII activity
Von wIllebrand's disease
platelet adhesion defect + factor VIII deficiency
Lab findings in vWD
Decreased vWF, VIII antige and VIII: C prolonged bleeding time
Vitamin K Deficiency
Decreased epoxide reductase activity (decreased function vitamin K); hemorrhagic diathesis; increased PT
Causes vitamin K deficiency
Antibiotics MC, newborn, malabsorption, warfarin
DIC
Activation coagulation system from release of tissue thromboplastin and/or endothelial cell damage

Consumption coagulation factors by fibrin clots; pt also anticoagulated
Causes DIC
Septic shock MCC; rattlesnake bite, massive trauma, amniotic fluid
Lab findings DIC
Thrombocytopenia; increased PT and PTT, D-dimers (beta test), anemia
Warfarin
Inhibits epoxide reductase, PT best test but PTT also prolonged

Full anticoagulation in three days when prothrombin dissappears
Rx Warfarin Overcoagulation
Intramuscular vitamin K, fresh frozen plasma (immediate)
Heparin
Enhances antithrombin; PTT best test but PT also prolonged
Factor V Leiden
MC hereditary thrombosis; resistant to degradation by protein C/S
ATIII Deficiency
No prolongation of PTT with administration of heparin
M Cells
Specialized cells that transfer foreign antigens to lymphocyte sin Peyer's patches
Blood group O
Anti-AB-IG antibodies; increased incidence of duodenal ulcers
Newborns blood typing
do not have natural blood group antibodie at birth
Elderly blood typing
May lose natural blood group antibodies; no hemolytic reaction to mismatched blood
Duffy Antigen
Receptor for plasmodium vivax; blacks often lack Duffy antigen
Antibody Screening
Indirect Coomb's test; detects atypical antibodies in serum
Hepatitis C is most common caused by what
MCC of post transfusion hepatitis
Universal Donor
