Cards

Term
Given the Etiology, Name the Coagulation Disorder associated with it:

Multiple mechanisms, but most decreased production of plasma coagulation factors
Definition
Liver Disease
Term
Given the Etiology, Name the Coagulation Disorder associated with it:

Related to diet or antibiotic use that destroys gut normal flora
Definition
Vitamin K Deficiency
Term
Given the Etiology, Name the Coagulation Disorder associated with it:

Patient develops an autoantibody against phospholipids on platelet surfaces and in the PTT testing system
Definition
Lupus Anticoagulants (also called anti-phospholipid antibodies, circulating anticoagulants, or nonspecific inhibitors)
Term
Given the Etiology, Name the Coagulation Disorder associated with it:

Something interferes with mechanisms that inhibit clotting
Definition
Thrombosis
Term
Is Liver Disease Usually acquired or genetic?
Definition
Acquired
Term
What is the cause of Vitamin K1 Disorder?
Definition
Diet
Term
What is the cause of Vitamin K2 Disorder?
Definition
Intestinal Bacteria
Term
True or False:
There are many genetic and acquired causes of excess blood clotting
Definition
True
Term
What will the PT & PTT be for Liver Disease?
Definition
INCREASED PT
INCREASED PTT
Term
Which Coagulation Disorder will have slight to moderate thrombocytopenia with poor functioning INCREASED Liver Function Tests?
Definition
Liver Disease
Term
True or False:
PT will be elevated in Vitamin K Deficiency, but there may ALSO be a slight INCREASE in PTT
Definition
True
Term
Which factors are affected by Vitamin K Deficiency?
Definition
Factors II, VII, IX, X
Term
Given the Clinical description, list the coagulation disorder:

Moderate to Severe Bleeding
Definition
Liver Disease
Term
Given the Clinical description, list the coagulation disorder:

Mild - often only see if multiple factors are present
Definition
Vitamin K Deficiency
Term
Given the Special Features, List the Coagulation Disorder associated with it:

Factor VIII NORMAL or INCREASED
Definition
Liver Disease
Term
What is one of the most common hemostatic diseases?
Definition
Liver Disease
Term
Why are premature infants given Vitamin K?
Definition
Immature livers can't make factors and they have no gut bacteria, so vitamin K is given to premature infants to help them.
Term
True or False:
Many patients who develop LA (Lupus Anticoagulants) do NOT have an autoimmune disorder.
Definition
True
Term
How is Lupus Anticoagulants Disorder acquired?
Definition
Acquired in patients with SLE and other auto immune disorders
Term
What are the typical results associated with Acquired Thrombosis?
Definition
INCREASED Lipids, Immobilization, & Inflammation
Term
What are the typical results associated with Genetic Thrombosis?
Definition
Activated Protein C resistance, & deficiencies in AT, Protein C, & Protein S
Term
Which Coagulation Disorder has the following diagnostic tests:

INCREASED PTT
50:50 Mix of patient plasma with Normal plasma does NOT CORRECT
Definition
Lupus Anticoagulant
Term
What tests would you perform to confirm Lupus Anticoagulant?
Definition
Platelet Neutralization, DRVVT, or Anti-phospholipid assay
Term
What test would you perform to diagnose Thrombosis?
Definition
Factor V Leiden molecular test for activated protein C resistance
Term
True or False:
Other Thrombosis genetic conditions can be assayed by immunoassays in specialized labs
Definition
True
Term
Given the Clinical Description, name the Coagulation Disorder associated with it:

Associated with thrombosis or miscarriages RATHER THAN Bleeding
Definition
Lupus Anticoagulants
Term
Thrombosis - Venous clots can break free & cause ____ ______ ______.
Definition
Fatal Pulmonary Embolism
Term
Thrombosis - Arterial clots can cause ___ ____ & _____.
Definition
Heart attacks & Strokes
Term
True or False:
LA affects coagulation testing but generally does NOT cause serious clinical problems
Definition
True
Term
What does Lupus Anticoagulant usually present with?
Definition
Unexplained NORMAL PT & INCREASED PTT
Term
How would/should you treat Thrombosis?
Definition
Anticoagulant therapy or thrombolytic therapy (clot busters)
