    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.
