Blood coagulation Flashcards
(140 cards)
INJURY
▪ Exposes reactive subendothelial matrix proteins
such as:
- Collagen
- Von Willebrand Factor
Injury Result
- Platelet adherence and activation
- Secretion and synthesis vasoconstrictors
- Platelet recruitment and activating proteins
▪ Synthesized from arachidonic acid within
platelets.
▪ A platelet activator and potent vasoconstrictor.
THROMBOXANE A2 (TXA)
PRODUCTS SECRETED FROM PLT GRANULES
▪ Adenosine diphosphate ▪ Serotonin ▪ Bind fibrinogen ▪ Cross link adjacent platelets. ▪ Aggregation and formation of platelet plug ▪ Thrombin generation and fibrin clot.
serotonin
- Activation of platelet
- Conformational change in alpha and beta
integrin (IIb/IIIa) receptor.
2b3a
DEFECTS IN FORMATION OF PLATELET PLUG
▪ Defects in primary hemostasis, platelet function defects, Von Willebrand Disease.
▪ Bleeding mucosal sites with injury.
- Gingiva, skin, heavy menses
DEFECTS IN THE CLOTTING MECHANISM
▪ Secondary hemostasis, Hemophilia A
▪ Tend to bleed into deep tissues
- Joints, muscle, retroperitoneum
▪ No inciting event, recur unpredictably
will do binding with fibronectin and
thrombin. This binding will produce more feedback
to produce more thrombin
vWF
Platelets will be activated and release substances
like
ADP,5-HT, TXA2 in circulation.
▪ Platelet rich
WHITE THROMBI
Fibrin rich
RED THROMBI
Form in the high
flow rate and high
shear force
environment of arteries
WHITE THROMBI
▪ With large number
of trapped RBC
Venous clots
▪ With large number
of trapped RBC
white thrombi is dominated by
platelet nidus
red thrombi is dominated by
firbin tail
white thrombi effects
- Downstream ischemia (of
extremities or vital organs) - Result: limb amputation
and organ failure
Red thrombi effects
- Severe swelling and pain (of affected extremity) - Pulmonary Embolism – part of the clot breaks off from its location in the deep venous system and travels as an embolus; most feared consequence
TF/VIIa
TFP inhibitor
VIIIa
Protein C/Protein S
IXa, XIa, Xa, Va, Thrombin
Antithrombin III/Heparin

NATURAL ANTICOAGULANT SYSTEMS
THE IDEAL ANTI - CLOTTING DRUG
▪ Can preserve the tissue factor and VIIa initiation
phase
▪ Weakening the secondary pathway
ANTIPLATELET AGENTS
Thromboxane A2 inhibitor Phosphodiesterase inhibitor Glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa blockers ADP - receptor antagonist
Thromboxane A2
inhibitor
Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) (aspirin)
