What is hemostasis?

Physiological process that lead to the stoppage of bleeding from an injured vessel

3 stages of hemostasis

1. Vascular construction


2. Formation of the plates plug/ temporary clot through platelets aggregation

Final stage of hemostasis

Blood coagulation/ formation of definitive clot

What is the first and 2nd steps in vascular constriction?

1. Reflex Vasoconstriction


2. Platelets arrival and release of vasoconstriction mediators .


3. Release of Prostacyclin ( vasodilation) from endothelium.

What does reflex vasoconstriction do?

Provides temporary slowing down of the blood flow.

Vasoconstriction mediators

1. Platelets release Thromboxane A2


(TXA2) =vasoconstriction


2. Serotonin = vasoconstriction


3. Endothelin is potent vasoconstrictor


4. Prostacyclin (Prostaglandin)


from endothelium


Prostacyclin=vasodilation is released to Prevent platelets from aggregating in uninjured areas.

Function of prostacyclin ( prostaglandin)

Can vasoconstrict or vasodilate

Stages of formation of platelets plugs

1. Platelets ( Alpha and Dense granules).


2. Von Willebrand factor ( transports factor VIII) released from endothelium to help with adhesion to collagen fibers.


3. Thromboxane and ADP activates and signals platelets to come to the area.


4. Platelets arrive and accumulate.


5. Fibrinogen binds to platelets receptor sites to form loose plug. Platelets plug.

Liver

Natural anticoagulation factors?

Protein C, S, antithrombin

Factors produced by hepatocytes in a liver?

Fibrinogen


Prothrombin


Factors: V, VIl, IX, X, xI, xII

What factors inactivates Protein C?

Factor V, VIII helps to decrease the amount of thrombus formation

Protein C deficiency causes?

Increased risk of thrombosis or thromboemboly.

Function of protein S?

Acceleration function of protein C

Fibrinogen is needed for ?

For activation of


Pro-coagulation factor of Fibrin for clot formation

Prothrombin is needed for..

Conversion of thrombin

Antithrombin is needed for

Inactivates coagulation factors to neutralize Thrombin

Lack of Protein C and S causes …

Hypercoagubility state / higher risk of developing thromboemboly

Vitamin K helps to synthesize?

Vitamin K


Synthesis:



II, VII, IX, X


Prothrombin


Protein C

Clot dissolution is known as?

Fibrinolysis

Plasminogen is activated by?

Plasminogen activator

Plasminogen converts to …

Plasmin to break the clots ( Factors V, VII, VII, Prothrombin,


Fibrinogen).

Plasmin inactivated by…

Plasmin alpha inhibitor

Thrombocytosis

Hypercoagulability state- increased platelets function

Types of thrombocytosis

Primary - nothing underlying ( Defect of thrombopoietin receptor; Causes increased levels of free thrombopoietin)


Secondary- smth causes problems ( Seen with disease states that increase thrombopoietin)

Secondary Thrombocytosis causes?

CA, RA, chronic inflammatory infection, causes of tissues damage.

Something that stimulates trombopoietin to…

Increase amount of RBC

Normal feedback system

Platelets decreased -


Increased Unbound TPO


Stimulates Megakaryocytes Production


Platelets Increased


• Decreased unbound TPO


Inhibition of Megakaryocyte Production

Primary Thrombocytosis main cause?

Myeloproliferative disorder


Stem cells makes more platelets than balance system can handle on a negative feedback


Can be the cause of defects on the platelets receptor- inhibiting ability of TPO to attach to the receptor- free TPO- unbound TPO is going to stimulate bone marrow to make more megakaryocytes to increase the platelets

Increased numbers of platelets and their form causing

Causes increased risk of blood clots and because of the abnormal form - bleeding

Protein C and S made in a liver is to …

To anticoagulate , to inactivate clotting factors


Protein C


Inactivates Factor V and VIlI


Protein S


Accelerates the action of Protein C

Goal of Protein C, S ?

To prevent blood clots in a body


Goal:


Prevent thromboembolism

Protein C and S deficiency causes?


• Increased risk for blood clots

What is Factor V Leiden?

It’s a mutation in the blood clotting Factor V


Because of the mutation protein C cannot shut it down


Factor V Leiden resistant to protein C and will not respond


Causes risks of blood clots.


Risk population:


Pregnancy

Protein C deficiency caused by ?

Congenital


Liver failure


Vitamin K deficiency


Malignancy

Protein S deficiency causes?

Autoimmune disorder

Treatment for Inherited Hypercoagulability Disorders

Anticoagulation treatment

Acquired Hypercoagulabilit Causes

Immobility


MI


Cancer


Smoking


Surgery


Obesity


Heart failure


Especially cancer


Hormone replacement


Oral contraception

Coagulation factor deficiencies-inherited

Von Willebrand


Hemophilia A ( factor VIII deficiency)

Von Willebrand hallmark

Hereditary


Can’t form clots/ Clotting


Cascade interrupted


Transports factor VIII


Risk at bleeding ( nose bleed, dental procedure)


Bleeding in the presence of normal platelet counts- hallmark

Hemophilia A Factor 8 deficiency

Hereditary


X Linked


Recessive


Affects males


Spontaneous bleeding in soft tissue/GI Tract

Factor 8 and Coagulation Factor Deficiencies-Inherited

You have to differentiate is it a primary true deficiency in hemophilia A of factor 8 or is it a secondary as a result of Von Willebrand.

If it’s a hemophilia A , liver and endothelial lining are not making factor 8. Not enough factor 8 being made- primary cause.

If it’s plenty of factor 8 being made and it’s a transport problem . It becames a secondary cause as deficiencies in Von Willebrand.

Acquired Bleeding Disorders


Vitamin K deficiency


Clotting factors not working

Reasons:


Not enough vitamin k in a diet


Intestinal problem ( bacteria will not be present to break down for Vit K)


Use of antibiotics ( destroyed intestinal flora)


Liver disease ( liver can’t store vitamin k)


Can be seen in newborns ( they don’t have established intestinal flora)


Factors II, VII, IX, X not functional

Bleeding Associated with Platelet Disorders


Thrombocytopenia=LOW PLATELETS


Causes

Primary immune thrombocytopenic purpura ( idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura) is a result of antibody attack glycoproteins on platelets


Autoimmune disorder


Receptors involved: 3 B 1B 3 A


These receptors are targeted for destruction. It will caUse an excessive amount of platelets distraction and will cause thrombocytopenia.

Purpura

Discoloration on the skin because of platelets distraction


Risks of bleeding gums,


Nose bleed


Menstrual bleeding


GI bleeding

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation : problems

1. Excessive amount of coagulation


2. Excessive amount of bleeding

Coagulation part of DIC

Increased bleeding


Excessive coagulation



Tissue injury


• Obstetric complications


• Malignant neoplasms


• Infections (especially gram-negative sepsis)


• Trauma


• Surgery


• Burns


• Hypotension


ENDOTHELIAL CELL INJURY


• Infections


• Immune complex deposition


• Burns


• Hypoxia


• Acidosis


• Shock


• Vasculitis


Activation of both clotting cascades - excessive clotting. Thrombin generation. Thrombin goes unchecked. excessive amount of fibrin production. Fibrin will produce clots: • Ischemic tissue injury


• Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia ( intravascular).


DIC causes the destruction of natural coagulants: Anti- Thrombin III.


With excessive amount of clotting, plasmin (fibrinolysis) gets activated.


Plasmin will destroy clotting factors ( V, VIII, fibrinogen, platelets). No more left for other clotting mechanisms- people will bleed.
