Study Notes
Blood Coagulation
Blood Clotting Disorders
- Bleeding Disorders:
- Hemophilia A (Factor VIII deficiency)
- Hemophilia B (Factor IX deficiency)
- Von Willebrand disease (VWF deficiency)
- Thrombotic Disorders:
- Thrombophilia (increased risk of thrombosis)
- Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS)
Factor Deficiencies
- Inherited Deficiencies:
- Factor VIII deficiency (Hemophilia A)
- Factor IX deficiency (Hemophilia B)
- Factor XI deficiency (Hemophilia C)
- Factor XII deficiency (rare)
- Acquired Deficiencies:
- Vitamin K deficiency (impairs clotting factor synthesis)
- Liver disease (impairs clotting factor synthesis)
Hemostatic Balance
- Balance between:
- Blood clotting (thrombosis) and
- Blood clot dissolution (fibrinolysis)
- Regulation by:
- Coagulation factors (e.g., thrombin)
- Anticoagulant factors (e.g., protein C, antithrombin)
- Fibrinolytic factors (e.g., plasmin)
Thrombosis Prevention
- Mechanical Methods:
- Compression stockings
- Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC)
- Venous filters
- Pharmacological Methods:
- Anticoagulant medications (e.g., warfarin, heparin)
- Antiplatelet medications (e.g., aspirin, clopidogrel)
Coagulation Cascade
- Intrinsic Pathway:
- Initiated by contact activation (e.g., injury)
- Involves factors VIII, IX, X, and XI
- Extrinsic Pathway:
- Initiated by tissue factor (e.g., endothelial injury)
- Involves factors VII, X, and thrombin
- Common Pathway:
- Involves factors X, thrombin, and fibrin
- Results in clot formation
