Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura?

Definition?
Common in which age?
Etiology?

Definition
- Autoimmune disorder in which an IgG autoantibody binds to platelets and destroys them

- Acute: precipitated by viral infection
Chronic: in adults with collagen vascular Dz or lymphocytic leukemia
- kids: petechiae and purpura
adults: bruising, epistaxis, and menses
- Platelet <10,000; test of exclusion; enlarged platelets, nml RBC size

Treatment?
Definition
- thrombosis in terminal arterioles and capillaries
- young adults 20-50
- Endothelial cell damage causes incr vWF release that induces platelet aggregation

- 80-90% recover completely; 20% relapse
- Steroids; plamapharesis

- usually in children, due to diarrheal illness (secondary to shigella, salmonella, E. coli);
in adults: often by estrogen or pospartum
- Renal failure, anemia, thrombocytopenia, (no neurological manifestations)
- incr RBC fragmentation; incr LDH
- children: supportive care; adults: plasmapharesis with FF replacement

HUS
Term
which disorder shows up after a viral infection?
Definition
ITP
Term
Schistocytes are seen in which disorders?
Definition
HUS and TTP
Term
disorder due to the release of increase vWF that induces platelet aggregation
Definition
TTP
Term
Disorder that has a plt count < 10,000 and enlarged platelet; nml RBC morphology
Definition
ITP
Term
Disorder that has a plt count < 10,000 and enlarged platelet; nml RBC morphology
Definition
ITP
Term
Which drug is most common for inducing thrombocytopenia?
Definition
Heparin
Term
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia

Definition?
Common in which age?
Etiology?
SSx?
Diagnostic test?
Prognosis?
Treatment?
Definition
-most common drug to induce thrombocytopen
- most common cause of thrombocyt. in hospitalized pts
- Autoantibody IgG interacts with Platelet Factor 4 on platelet --> thombosis
- Highest risk after 4 days
- cause: self-induced and self-limiting
- arterial or venous thrombus
-test with HIT antibodies
- thrombin inhibitors; stop heparin; use LMWH or coumadin
Term
von Willebrand Disease?

Definition?
Epidemiology?
Etiology?
SSx?
Different types!!
diagnostics?
Prognosis?
Treatment?
Definition
- Autosomal dominant condition
- Have defective vWF with low Factor VIII levels
- 1% of the population
- Platelet dysfunction and deficient Factor VIII
- mucosal bleeding, epistaxis, superficial (petechiae), menorrhagia
- low levels of VIII:c, VWFAg, and RCof
- excellent
- FFP and cryoprecipitate
Term
Type I VWD?
Definition
- mild/most common (>80%)
- Reduced quantity of VWF
- VWF nml, just reduced
- labs: VIII:C, VWF:Ag, and RCof are all partially decreased in parallel levels
Term
Type II VWD?
Definition
- mild to moderate bleeding; 15%
- Qualitative defects in function
Type 2A: lacks HMW multimers
Type 2B: qualitative variants/platelet binding
- VIII:C, VWF:Ag, and RCof are decreased to different degrees (= qualitative variants)
Term
Type III VWD?
Definition
- Severe bleeding (<5%)
- VWF very low or absent
- VIII:C, VWF:Ag (ex. <12), + RCof: all really low
Term
treatment for VWD?
Definition
FFP and cyroprecipitate

* avoid aspirin

How much of Factor VIII or IX do they have?
Definition
- mod amt of bleeding,

- 1-5% of Factor level
Term
Define Severe hemophilia

How much of Factor VIII or IX do they have?
Definition
- Spontaneous hemorrhage into tissue and joints; if left untreated --> arthropathy and joint destruction

Etiology?
SSx?
Acute and Chronic
Diagnostics?
Prognosis?
Treatment?
Definition
- simultaneous hemolysis and hemostasis
- common disease in the hospital pop.
- Deposition of fibrin in small blood vessels --> thrombosis + end-organ damage
Depletion of clotting factors & platelets --> bleeding diathesis
- Triggered by sign tissue injury; Consumptive process
- acute and chronic types
- PT, PTT,TT, Platelet, FDPs+D-dimer, clotting factor,
- life threatening
- treatment of underlying illness
Term
Coagulatory of liver disease?

Definition?
Diagnostics?
Prognosis?
Treatment?
Definition
- liver is the site of synthesis of all the coagulation factors except factor VIII
- Shows abnml PT faster because VII has a short half-life
- Vitamin K-dependent factors (2,7,9,10) are first to be affected
- depends on underlying liver disease
- FFP; platelet transfusion
