Study Notes
Hematology 2: Principle of Coagulation
- Coagulation is crucial for hemostasis, preventing excessive bleeding from injured blood vessels.
- Hemostasis is a complex cascade involving vascular, cellular, and molecular components.
- Vasoconstriction: Narrowing of blood vessels to reduce blood flow.
- Platelet adhesion and aggregation: Platelets stick to each other and to the injured vessel wall, forming a temporary plug.
- Coagulation enzyme activation: A cascade of enzymatic reactions lead to thrombus (clot) formation.
- Intrinsic pathway: Initiated by factors already present in the blood.
- Extrinsic pathway: Initiated by tissue factor released from injured tissues.
- Common pathway: Both pathways converge.
- Thrombin is a key enzyme, converting fibrinogen to fibrin, which forms the stable clot.
- Plasmin dissolves the clot through fibrinolysis.
- Platelets, vascular intima, factors, and extra-vascular tissues are key components involved in the process.
- Endothelial cells secrete factors like prostacyclin to prevent unnecessary clotting.
- Balanced hemostasis is vital for maintaining proper blood flow and preventing abnormal bleeding or clotting.
Hemostasis Cellular Elements
- Vascular intima, extravascular tissue factors (factor III), blood coagulation factors, platelets, and fibrinolytic proteins are key components.
- Blood vessels have three layers: intima, media, and adventitia, each with distinct functions to regulate blood flow.
- Endothelial cells play a vital role in maintaining a balance between clotting and anti-clotting mechanisms.
- Secrete prostacyclin, nitric oxide, and other factors preventing platelet aggregation or activation.
- Platelets adhere, aggregate, and release factors crucial for clot formation.
Normal Coagulation
- Coagulation factors are balanced with fibrinolytic proteins to control blood flow and blood clotting.
Hypercoagulation
- Hypercoagulation is a state of excessive clotting, leading to thrombosis (formation of blood clots).
- This is characterized by an uncontrolled production of thrombi(a blood clot) that can occlude blood vessels, potentially leading to serious complications such as MI or stroke.
- Several conditions can contribute to hypercoagulation.
Hypo-coagulation
- Hypo-coagulation is a state of deficient clotting, leading to spontaneous bleeding.
- Conditions like hemophilia or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) can lead to insufficient clot formation, resulting in prolonged bleeding.
