25
which genetic thrombophilia work up can be affected by warfairn
Protein C and S deficiency | APS (lupus anticoagulant), antithrombin
26
how to congestive HF exacerbations effect warfarin/INR
increase response to warfarin Increases INR BECAUSE: increase in hepatic congestion and decreased warfarin catabolism.
27
how normal blood clots when a blood vessel is injured
1. platelets are drawn to site of injury and from a loose c plug 2. Factor V enzyme reactions on the surface of the platelets generate fibrin, fibrin holds the platelets together (CLOT) 3. when there is enough fibrin APC ( protien c) inactivates factor V stopping the clot from growing
28
what is factor V Leiden
is when pts have a mutation in their factor V gene , that is resistent to APC. therefore APC has a harder time stopping the clot from growing. (APC resistance)
