Nomenclature And Intro To Coag Cascade Flashcards
Complex molecule in the plasma
VIlI/vWF
: coagulation
VIII: C
: platelet adhesion
VIII:vWF
Produced as a big complex
VIlI/vWF
Platelet adhesion
VIlI:vWF
tested by BT
VIlI:vWF
acts as an adhesive to the endothelium
VIlI:vWF
can be tested by bleeding time when deficient
VIlI:vWF
prolonged bleeding time may be caused by VWF due to defect in plt adhesion
VIlI:vWF
Starts to separate when matures in the endothelium ([?] moves to the circulation; [?] remains in the endothelium)
FVIII
VWF
cofactor (FIX+Ca)
tested by PTT
VIII:C
VIII:C APTT:
Intrinsic
VIII:C PT:
extrinsic
individual factor
VIII:C
seen in the coagulation cascade
VIII:C
“C” for
cofactor or coagulant portion of factor VIII
Serves as a cofactor to Factor IX and Calcium (needed to activate FX in the common pathway)
VIII:C
- part of “intrinsic prothrombinase”
VIII:C
Antigenic property of VIII:C
VIIIC:Ag
Tested by monoclonal antibody (antisera)
VIIIC:Ag
FVIII may have an inhibitor and attacks FVIII
VIIIC:Ag
Antigenic property of vWF
VIIIR:Ag
tested by Laurell rocket
VIIIR:Ag
