CHAPTER 1 - HEMOSTASIS PART 6 Flashcards
From an external substance
ACQUIRED DEFECTS OF PLATELET FUNCTION
- Drug-related
• Aspirin
• NSAIDs and other COX-2 inhibitors (naproxen and ibuprofen)
• Other Antiplatelet medications: ticlopidine and clopidogrel
• Dextran
acytelate the cyclooxygenase enzyme
Aspirin
adding/removin one cpd to make it nonfuncitonal
acytelate
– secretes thromboxane and prostaglandin
cyclooxygenase enzyme
(stimulates the activation of plt and aggregation)
thromboxane and prostaglandin
blood donation: deferral after 14 days; plasma and plt are nonfuncitonal
NSAIDs and other COX-2 inhibitors (naproxen and ibuprofen)
.Prevent blood clotting by preventing plt aggregation
ticlopidine and clopidogrel
Administered to enhance fibrinolysis (plt clot – stabilization of coagulation – agglutinates in the bv to arrest bleeding – interacts w/ bf = not healthy)
Dextran
Side effect: reduce plt adhesion to vWF (interference to plt plug formation)
Dextran
Normal:
140-450 x 109/uL
: transient thrombocytopenia
100-150 x 109/uL
(due to medication but can go back as soon as it is eliminated)
: transient thrombocytopenia
- abnormally low
• ≤ 100,000/ pL
- bleeding possible
• 30,000-50,000/ pL
- spontaneous bleeding
• ≤ 30,000
- severe spontaneous bleeding
• ≤ 5,000/pL
-decrease in circulating platelets
THROMBOCYTOPENIA
-less than 100,000/uL
THROMBOCYTOPENIA
-increase in circulating platelets
THROMBOYTOSIS /THROMBOCYTHEMIA
-more than 450,000/uL
THROMBOYTOSIS /THROMBOCYTHEMIA
-bleeding -
THROMBOCYTOPENIA
hallmark for myeloproliferative diseases
Primary Thrombocytosis
- polycythemia vera: thrombocytosis is in sync w/ an abnormality of the rbc
THROMBOYTOSIS /THROMBOCYTHEMIA
