Rate Limiting Step in Coag Cascade
X to Xa
PT measures which path
Extrinsic Path
PTT measures which path
Intrinsic Path
Other paths XIIa works on
Converts Prekallikrein to Kallikren (converts plasmingogen to plasmin) (converts HMWK to bradykinin)
Women with history of recurrent pregnancy loss and history of DVTs
Factor V Leiden
-mutant factor V resistant to degradation by protein C
THrombotic skin necrosis with hemorrhage after adminstration of warfarn
Protein C or S deficiency
G20290A mutation
Prothrombin gene mutation
Anticoag you follow using PTT
Heparin
cofactor for activation of antithrombin
Heparin
Antidote for Heparin OD
Protamine Sulfate
LMWH work more on facotr
Xa
- longer halflife
- can be adminitored subcutaneously
Why no monitoring of LMWH
Dosage is based on body weight
What cuases Heparin-induced Thrombocytopenia
Development of IgG antibodies against heparin-bound platelet factor 4 (PF4) –> Ab-hepatrin PF4 complex activates plateles –> thrombosis and thrombocytopenia
Treatment for HIT?
Direct thrombin inhibitors
-Bivalirudin (you were so RUDe to cause a HIT)
inhibits epoxide reductase
Warfarin
Monitored using PT
Warfarin
MOA of Warfarin
Intererferes with gamma-carboxylation of vit K-dept clotting factors (10,9,7,2) and proteins C & S
-blocks C and S first why you need to start with heparin as well
Anticoag you can give during pregnancy
Heparin
Teratogenic affects of Warfarin
Bone and cartilate problems, nasal hypoplasia
OD of Warfarin
Vit K, fresh frozen plasma
Apixaban, Rivaroxaban
Xa inhibitors direct
Aids in the coversion of plasminogen to plasmin (medication)
Thrombolytics (tPA, rPA, streptokinase, tenecteplase)
Nephritis, deafness, cataracts
Alport Syndrome
IF: granular pattern of immune complex deposition, LM: hypercellular glomeruli
PSGN
Deficiency of Aldolase B
Fructose Intolerance
Deficiency of Cystathionine Synthase
Homocystinuria
Galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase def
Intellectual disability, HSM, cataracts
Classic Galactosemia
Deficiency of Tyrosinase
Albinism
What do you administer Anti-D IgG (RhoGAM) for?
Rh negative women during the third trimester to prevent maternal anti-D IgG production to avoid erthyroblastosis fetalis
Anti-Rh-D
Erythroblastosis Fetalis

microcytic anemia with basophilic stippling
RBC form in bone marrow infiltration (myelofibrosis)
Teadrop cell

RBC form G6PD def
Heinz bodies bite cells (Degamyte)
-because of that oxidized Hg, someone dug in that RBC with all their might (and by someone I mean MP)
Burr cell

RBC form End-stage renal disease
Burr cell (Echinocyte)
RBC form Pyruvate Kinase deficiency
Burr cell (echinocyte)
Pencil shaped RBCs
Elliptocyte
- Hereditary elliptocytosis
- mutation in RBC membrane protein (spectrin)
RBC form in Disorders of heme synthesis
Ringed sideroblasts
-Sideroblastic anemia
RBC form in DIC
Schistocytes
RBC form in TTP/HUS
Schistocytes
Target cells are seen in which path?
HALT said the hunter to the target H: HbC disease A: Asplenia L: Liver disease T: Thalassemia
RBC form seen in patients with functional hypospelnia or asplenia
Howell-Jolly bodies
-basophilic nuclear remnants found in RBCs (normally removed by splenic MP)
Causes of Heinz bodies in G6PD
Spleen Purges Nasty Inclusions From Damaged Cells Sulfonamids Primaquine Nitrofurantoin Isoniazid Fava beans Dapsone Chloroquine TB & malaria drugs, fava beans and sulfonamides
Fetal erythropoiesis
York sac
Liver
Spleen
Bone marrow
Lead poisoning inhibits which enzymes
Ferrochelatase and ALA dehydratase
Treatment for Lead poisoning
