Study Notes
Coagulation Disorders
- Coagulopathies can be classified into two types: inherited disorders, which affect one clotting factor, and acquired disorders, which affect several clotting factors and hemostatic pathways.
Inherited Disorders of Coagulation
Intrinsic Pathway Disorders
-
Factor XII deficiency (Hageman factor deficiency) is an autosomal recessive disorder, where homozygous individuals have no factor XII, and heterozygous individuals have variable levels of factor XII.
-
Clinical findings: no bleeding disorder, but laboratory tests show prolonged APTT.
-
Therapy: none, as it is usually an in vitro phenomenon.
-
Prekallikrein deficiency (Fletcher factor deficiency) is an autosomal recessive disorder.
-
Clinical findings: no bleeding disorder.
-
Laboratory tests: prolonged APTT.
-
HMWK deficiency (Fitzgerald, Flaujeac, Williams factor deficiency) is an autosomal recessive disorder.
-
Clinical findings: no bleeding disorder.
-
Laboratory tests: mildly prolonged APTT.
-
Factor XI deficiency (Hemophilia C, Rosenthal's disease) is an autosomal dominant hemophilia, commonly found in the Ashkenazi Jewish population.
-
Clinical findings: mild bleeding tendencies, usually responding to therapy, and asymptomatic until trauma or surgery.
-
Laboratory tests: prolonged APTT.
-
Therapy: fresh whole blood or fresh plasma.
-
Factor VIII:C deficiency (Hemophilia A, Classic Hemophilia) is a sex-linked or X-linked recessive disorder.
-
Clinical findings: severe, moderate, or mild bleeding diathesis, depending on the level of factor VIII:C activity.
-
Bleeding symptoms include bleeding into soft tissues or joints, hematomas, hemarthroses, epistaxis, hematuria, and GIT and intracranial hemorrhage.
-
Laboratory tests: prolonged APTT, with varying levels of factor VIII:C in daughters of carrier females and daughters of hemophiliacs.
-
Therapy: cryoprecipitate, DDAVP, porcine factor VIII:C concentrates, and prothrombin complex concentrates.
-
Factor IX deficiency (Hemophilia B, Christmas disease) is an autosomal recessive disorder.
