A

Quantitative

73
Q

What is the most common type/origin of qualitative PLT disorders?

75
Q

How do qualitative plt disorders typically manifest initially?

A

Mucous membrane bleeding

76
Q

How are most qualitative plt disorders treated?

A

Platelet infusion

77
Q

What is the most common iatrogenic cause of qualitative plt disorders?

A

ASA
Plavix
NSAIDs

78
Q

What drugs cause irreversible plt dysfunction?

A

ASA and Plavix.

Must wait for PLTs to be cleared.

79
Q

What drugs cause reversible plt dysfunction?

A

NSAIDs.

Function returns in 12-24 hrs.

80
Q

If we have an emergency and a patient was still on plavix prior to surgery with a qualitative plt defect, what should we do?

A

PLT infusion should be sufficient to overcome acquired defect.

Q

What are the two types of Thrombotic microangiopathy?

A

TTP
HUS

82
Q

What are the primary characteristics of thrombotic microangiopathy?

A

Usually have large multimers of vWF and lack ADAMTS13, which is the protease to break it down.

A

Adults

85

A

HUS usually has no fever post GE phase and present with antecedent GE.

100
Q

What is DIC caused by?

A

Uncontrolled/systemic activation of coagulation, causing thrombocytopenia and depletion of coag factors and fibrinogen.
