Cards

Term
Primary Hemostasis
Definition

Formation of Platelet Plug 

 

Term
Primary Hemostasis Players
Definition

Platelets 

Collagen (endothelium)

vWF

Fibinogen 

Term
Tests for 1˚ Hemostasis
Definition

Concentration tests:

CBC to look at Platelet #

Species-specific Immunoassy to look at vWF#

 

Functional Tests:

Buccal Mucosal Bleeding Time

 

 

Term
Buccal Mucosal Bleeding Time
Definition

Used to assess the function of 1˚ hemostasis 

INDEPENDENT of coagulation cascade

will have a prolonged time with:

Thrombocytopenia (dec. Platelets) 

Platelet dysfunction 

von Willebrand dz 

Term
Intrinsic System
Definition

If a shop keeper wants to sell something for $12... he will sell it for $11.98. 

 

9&8 are a complex 

the middle #'s (11&9) use calcium 

Term
Intrinsic Factor
Definition
Activated by NEG charge
Term
Extrinsic Pathway
Definition
Activated by Tissue Factor
Term
Extrinsic Pathway
Definition

Tissue Factor + Factor 7 + Ca+   + Phospholipid (platelets)  

 

This complex activates 10 --> 10a 

 

Term
Platelet Phospholipid from activated platelets is needed in which complexes?
Definition

1. In Extrinsic Pathway (TF,7, Ca+, PL) converts 9 and 10 --> 9a and 10a

2. Intrinsic Pathway (9+8 +Ca+ +PL ) converts 10 -->10a

3. Common Pathway (10a +5a+PL + Ca+) converts 2-->2a (thrombin) 

Term
Thrombin (2a) activates 3 factors that act as AMPLIFICATION LOOPS
Definition

11, 8, 5

 

Term
Tissue Factor Deficiency
Definition
NO SUCH THING!!!! Dah
Term

      Activated Clotting Time (ACT)

Definition

INTRINSIC/COMMON PTWY TEST 

o   Less sensitive than PTT and requires platelets for PL

§  Have to have a SEVERE coag problem to pick up

o   Don’t need special Equipment – put in tube and see how long it takes to clot.

o   Contact w/Collection tube activates 12

Term

·      Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT)

Definition

Intrinsic Ptwy Test 

 

   Add PL and Ca+ to assay

o   Add activator of factor 12

o   Run more routinely à use plasma

§  More sensitive 

Term
Intrinsic and Common Pathway tests
Definition

Activated Clotting Time (ACT) 

Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT)

Term

Extrinsic Pathway test 

 

Definition
Prothrombin Time (PT)
Term
Prothrombin Time
Definition

Extrinsic Ptwy Test 

Use Plasma

o   Add PL and Ca+

o   Add source of TF

§  Detects time it takes for Fibrin Formation

o   Tests from 7 down

§  7, 10, 5, 2, 1,

o   Wont tell you which exact one is loss

§  Need to lose 70 – 80% to see delay

Term
Thrombin Time
Definition
Used to measure Fibriongen
Term
tPA
Definition

From Endothelial Cells

ONLY functional in the presence of FIBRIN

wont get plasminogen --> Plasmin w/o Fibrin present 

Term
MPV - Mean Plalelet Volume
Definition
Only used as support for increases platelet production b/c their larger
Term
Increase in FDP's and D-Dimer
Definition

Decreased Removal by liver/Kidney

or Increased production via 

Excessive thrombi formation 

sepsis

Internal Hemorrhage

Term
D- Dimers
Definition
Only Cross-linked fibrin Breakdown
Term
FDP'S
Definition
Can be Fibriongen or Fibrin
Term
Vitamin K deficiency causes
Definition

Warfarin or Cumarin - Antagonism

Cholestasis --> Dec. Fat Absorption --> Dec. Vitamin K absorption (b/c fat soluble)

 

Maldigest/Malabsorption --> Dec. Absorption of V. K

Term
Increase in FDP's
Definition

excess clotting (DIC) --> Increased production of FDP

Liver Disease --> decreased removal 

Term
Decreased Fibrinogen ruleouts
Definition

Liver Disease --> Decrease production of Fibrinogen 

Consumption of Fibrinogen 

Prob not Vitamin K b/c only 2,7,9 10 and Fibrinogen is factor 1

Term
DIC - Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (Comsumptive Coagulopathy)
Definition

NEVER a 1˚ disease

Clue for significant underlying dz causing activation of hemostatic pathways 

 

Causes usually 

Wide-spread exposure of Tissue Factors 

Endothelial damage/Activation 

Circulating foreign material and

Procoagulant release (venoms) 

Term
How to test for Fibrinolysis (Fibrin breakdow by plasmin
Definition

FDP's and D-dimers
