M4 QUALITATIVE PLATELET DISORDERS (CONGENITAL) Flashcards
(104 cards)
Excessive bruising and superficial (mucocutaneous)
bleeding in a patient whose platelet count is normal
suggest an ____
acquired or a congenital disorder of platelet
function.
2 TYPES OF QUALITATIVE PLATELET DISORDERS
I. Inherited Functional Defects
○ Congenital
II. Acquired Functional Defects
With___, organs are just seldomly affected
platelet disorder
Defects in
platelet-vessel wall
interaction
Adhesion
Defects in
platelet-platelet interaction
Aggregation
Disorders of platelet
secretion and
abnormalities of granules
Platelet secretion
. Disorders of platelet
secretion and signal
transduction defects
Platelet activation
● G-protein binding
● Agonist
Defects in cytoskeletal
regulation
Morphology: Size and shape
Disorders of platelet
coagulant-protein
interaction
Secondary hemostasis
● Phosphatidylserine
Important
____ and ___are contained in the platelet
granules, so if there would be defect in the secretion, it follows
that there are abnormalities in the granules
protein and non-protein mediators
For the cytoskeletal regulation, we know that we have the
structural zone of the platelet so maybe there is a problem in
the ____, ___ and ___
microtubules, microfilaments and the intermediate
filaments
For the problem on the platelet coagulant-protein
interaction, we know that the platelets are involved in the
secondary hemostasis so maybe there is a problem in the
flippin out of the____ from the inner membrane
to the outer membrane
phosphatidylserine
2 types of adhesion defects
- Bernard-Soulier Syndrome
- von Willebrand’s Disease
Involves qualitative and quantitative defects
qualitative:
quantitative:
BERNARD-SOULIER SYNDROME
Qualitative Defects
● Function
○ Adhesion
● Morphology
○ Giant platelets
Quantitative Defects
● Thrombocytopenia
Autosomal recessive abnormality in the platelet
GPlb/V/IX complex
BERNARD-SOULIER SYNDROME
Autosomal recessive abnormality in the platelet
GPlb/V/IX complex
Missing from the platelet surface or exhibits
abnormal function
○ Inability to bind to VWF
○ Inability of platelets to adhere to exposed
subendothelium
💡 GPlb/V/IX complex
Indirect Platelet Adhesion defect
BERNARD-SOULIER SYNDROME
Rare disorder of platelet adhesion that usually
manifests in____ with
hemorrhage characteristics of defective platelet
function: ecchymoses, epistaxis, and gingival
bleeding
infancy or childhood
Rare disorder of platelet adhesion that usually
manifests in infancy or childhood with
hemorrhage characteristics of defective platelet
function: ___
-BERNARD-SOULIER SYNDROME
-ecchymoses, epistaxis, and gingival
bleeding
bleeding of the joints
Hemarthrosis
This complex is important in indirect platelet adhesion
GPlb/V/IX complex
Because of this abnormality, this _____
is missing from the platelet surface and it would lead
to abnormal function affecting adhesion
glycoprotein complex
The effect is that there would be inability to bind to
______ and inability of platelets to
adhere to ____
von Willebrand factor, exposed subendothelium
