A

Symptoms can present abruptly or indolently; symptoms are normally long term

23
Q

Aetiology of Chronic ITP?

A

Associated with Autoimmune Disease, CLL and HIV

24
Q

Treatment of Chronic ITP

A

IVIg, steroids, splenectomy

25
What are the 3 main inherited coagulation disorders?
Haemophilia A, Haemophilia B, von Willebrand's disease
26
What are the 3 main acquired causes Coagulation disorders?
DIC, Liver Disease, Vit K deficiency
27
What factor is deficient in Haemophilia A, Haemophilia B, vW Disease?
Haemophilia A = Factor VIII, Haemophilia B = Factor IX, von Willebrand's disease = Factor VIII (also decreased platelet function)
28
What is another name for Haemophilia B?
Christmas Disease
29
Inheritance pattern of Haemophilia A?
X linked recessive
30
Inheritance pattern of Haemophilia B?
X linked recessive
31
Is Haemophilia A or B more common?
A = 1/10000 males (B=1/50000)
32
How is vW Disease most commonly inherited?
Autosomal Dominant
33
Mgmt for Haemophilia A
Avoid NSAIDs and IM injections, desmopressin, lifelong factor VIII rconcentrates
34
Mgmt for Haemophilia B
Factor IX concentrates
35
Mgmt for VW Disease
Desmopressin, VWF and Factor VIII concentrates
36
What factors require Vit K for synthesis?
2, 7, 9, 10
37
Which factors have impaired synthesis in Liver disease? | What else is affected?
Decreased synthesis of Factors of 2, 7, 9, 10, 11, and fibrinogen Decreased absorption of Vit K Abnormalities of platelet function
38
Treatment for Vit K deficiency
IV vitamin K or FFP for acute haemorrhage
39
What is the platelet count at presentation for Acute ITP and Chronic ITP?
Acute ITP = under 20,000 Chronic ITP = under 50,000
40
How is Haemophilia graded? Define each grade.
Related to factor level: Severe = under 1%, moderate = 1-5%; mild = 5-25%
41
How does Haemophilia (A&B) present clinically?
Often present early in life or with prolonged bleeding after surgery/trauma
42
How does vW disease present clincally?
often bleeding indicative of platelet disroders (i.e mucocutaneous bleeding) but can also include bleeding indicative of coagulation disorders
43
What are the causes of Vitamin K Deficiency?
Vitamin K malabsorption/malnutrition, Warfarin, Abx therapy, biliary obstruction
44
What are the causes of DIC?
Malignancy, sepsis, trauma, obstetric complication, toxins
45
Treatment for DIC
Treat the cause, give transfusions, FFP, platelets, cryo etc.
46
What happens in DIC?
Widespread activation of coagulation causes clotting factors and platelets to be consumed which then causes increased risk of bleeding
47
Clotting Results for Heparin: INR, APTT, TT, Platelet Count, Bleeding Time
``` INR - high APTT - very high TT - very high Platelet Count - normal Bleeding Time - normal ```
48
Clotting Results for DIC: INR, APTT, TT, Platelet Count, Bleeding Time
``` INR - very high APTT - very high TT - very high Platelet Count - low Bleeding Time - high Also high D-dimer ```
49
Clotting Results for Liver Disease: INR, APTT, TT, Platelet Count, Bleeding Time
``` INR - high APTT - high TT - normal or high Platelet Count - normal or down Bleeding Time - normal or high Also high AST ```
50
Clotting Results for Platelet Defect: INR, APTT, TT, Platelet Count, Bleeding Time
``` INR - normal APTT - normal TT - normal Platelet Count - normal Bleeding Time - increase ```
51
Clotting Results for Vit K Deficiency: INR, APTT, TT, Platelet Count, Bleeding Time
``` INR - very high APTT - high TT - normal Platelet Count - normal Bleeding Time - normal ```
52
Clotting Results for Haemophilia: INR, APTT, TT, Platelet Count, Bleeding Time
``` INR - normal APTT - very high TT - normal Platelet Count - normal Bleeding Time - normal ```
53
Clotting Results for Von Willebrand's Disease: INR, APTT, TT, Platelet Count, Bleeding Time
``` INR - normal APTT - very high TT - normal Platelet Count - normal Bleeding Time - high ```
