SECONDARY HEMOSTATIS Flashcards
(73 cards)
Coagulation factors are primarily produced in the
Liver
Made by Megakaryocyte and endothelial cells
The vWF and VIII:vWF
Increased factors in liver disease
Factor I and VIII
A Very good test to assess liver function in the acute setting because factor VII is needed for the extrinsic pathway
PT
Factor that Has the shortest half life of 6 hours
Factor VII
All deficiencies of coagulation factors are transmitted as _________ except for factor VIII and IX deficiencies which are transmitted as ________
Autosomal recessive ; x-linked recessive
Most concentrated of all the plasma procoagulants ; essential for platelet aggregation (links activated platelets through their GP IIb /IIIa platelet fibrinogen receptor) ; increases approximately 10 mg/dL per decade in the elderly
Fibrinogen
Fibrinogen 100 mg/dL or less than effect on PT and PTT
Prolonged
Factor II
Prothrombin
Factor III
Tissue factor / tissue thromboplastin / thrombokinase
Factor IV
Calcium ions
Factor V
Proaccelerin / labile factor / thrombogen
Mutant factor V
Factor V Leiden
Factors inactivated by protein C-protein S complex
Factors V & VIII
Factor V is not inactivated by the protein C and S complex which leas to
Excessive clot formation
Deficiency of factor V
Owren’s disease or parahemophilia
First factor to be affected by warfarin therapy ; shortest life span
Factor VII
FACTOR VII
Proconvertin / stable factor
Proconvertin half life
6 hours
Factor VIII
Antihemophilic factor A (AHF-A) / antihemophilic globulin (AHG)
Free factor ____ is unstable in plasma (it circulates bound to vWF) ; during coagulation, ______ cleaves ____ from vWF and activates it
Factor VIII ; thrombin ; factor VIII
Factor VIII deficiency
Hemphilia A or classic hemophilia
Refers to procoagulant portion ; measured by standard factor VIII assay and APTT ; markedly decreased in hemophilia A
Factor VII, Factor VIIIC, Factor VIII:C
Factor VIII complex that refers to the antigenic properties ; measured by immunoassays
Factor VIII:Ag
