Hemostasis - Coagulation Disorders

  1. TTP: Lab Results, Etiology or Symptoms, Treatment
    Labs: 

    • ↑BT, LD, Retics, Schistocytes
    • ↓PLT, HGB, Haptoglobin

    Etiology: 

    • Autoantibodies to ADAMTS-13
    • Secondary: Pregnancy, drugs, HIV, Chemo drug, stem cell transplants

    Treatment:

    Plasma Exchange
  2. ITP: : Lab Results, Etiology or Symptoms, Treatment
    Labs:

    • ↑BT
    • ↓PLT - enlarged plt's seen

    • Etiology: Unknwon
    • Symptoms: Purpura (easy bruising), bleeding gums or nose, heavy menstrual cycle

    Treatment: 

    IVIG or splenectomy for severe cases
  3. HIT: Lab Results, Etiology or Symptoms, Treatment
    Lab Results:

    • Presence of PLT antibody with ELISA.
    • ↓PLT

    Etiology or Symptoms: 

    Occurs in patients treated with unfractionated heparin.Low molecular weight Heparin is less likely to cause HIT

    Leads to thromboembolic events

    Treatment:

    Do not transfuse PLT's! May lead to thrombosis.
  4. Hemophilia A: VIII
    Labs:

    • ↑PTT,
    • ↓F8

    • Symptoms: 
    • Easy bleeding
    • Fibrinolysis
    • Hemartrosis (in joints)
    • Intramuscular bleeds 

    Treatment;

    DDAVP (creates rapid release of vWF & VIII.Plasma or Recombinant F VIII
  5. Hemophilia B; IX
    Labs:

    • ↑PTT, 
    • ↓F8

    • Symptoms: 
    • Anatomic bleeding:
    • Fibrinolysis
    • in Joints
    • Intramuscular bleeds 

    Treatment: 

    Usually not needed
  6. Hemophilia C: F XI
    Labs:

    • ↑PTT, 
    • ↓F8

    • Symptoms:
    • Anatomic bleeding
    • Fibrinolysis
    • Hemartrosis (in joints)
    • Intramuscular bleeds 

    Treatment: FFP
  7. DIC
    Labs: 

    • ↑PT, PTT, TT
    • Positive: Dimer & FDP
    • ↓ PLT, Fibrinogen, Antithrombin, Prot C&S,
    • MAHA seen on Slide

    Symptoms: 

    Seen in OB patients, organ failure, malignancy, sepsis, and traumas.

     Starts out as hypercoaguable with occlusive clots. Increased consumption of coag factors leads to a hemorrhagic state. Bleeding site seen at invasion sites.

    Treatment:

    Resolve underlying condition before treating the DIC
  8. Difference between:
    DIC & Fibrinolysis
    • DIC: Most Coag tests are abnormal
    • Schisotocytes on PM

    Fib: Coag tests are all normal
  9. Anti-thrombin III Deficiency
    • Labs:
    • ↓AT, Activity assay screening & Antigen activity

    Etiology:

    Acquired: Liver Dx, nephrotic dx, DIC, newborns

    Tx:

    Heparin & AT concentrates or plasma
  10. Protein C
    Coag inhibitor - Inactivates Va & VIIIa. 

    Increased risk of thrombosis
  11. Protein S
    coafactor for C

    Labs: 

    • ↑PT, PTT
    • ↓TT (may be N)
    • FV Abn.

    Etiology: 

    DVT: seen with liver dx, DIC, pregnancy, & Vit K deficiency

    Tx: FFP
  12. Bernard-Soulier
    • ↑MPV, BT,
    • ↓PLT (enlarged plt’s seen)
    • PLT Agg Studies: No agg with Ristocetin

    Symptoms/Etiology:

    Excessive Bleeding
  13. Glanzmann's Thombasthenia
    Labs: 

    • ↑ PFA, BT
    • ↓PLT AGG Studies: ADP, Epinephrine, Collagen & Normal with Ristocetin

    • Etiology/Symptoms:
    • Increased bleeding - especially after surgery
  14. Post Transfusion Purpura
    Labs:

    • ↑ BT
    • ↓Platelets (markedly)
    • N PT, PTT

    Etiology:

    Rare DTR (delayed transfusion reaction). Caused by alloantibodies specific to plt. Antigens. Bleeding from mucus membranes (i.e. gums), petechia.

    Treatment: 

    • IV immunoglobulin
    • Corticosteroids
    • Plasmapheresis?
  15. Factor V Leiden
    Labs: 

    • APC resistance test
    • (Modified PTT): mix together: Corrected = FVjQuery110109971755033862721_1507320851663?

    Symptoms: 

    • Recurrent venous thrombosis
    • Systemic bleeding

    Treatment:

    FFP
