Study Notes
Hematologic Medications and Processes Summary
- Intrinsic factor is crucial for the absorption of vitamin B12 by the terminal ileum.
- Erythropoietin is a hormone that stimulates red blood cell production and is used in conditions like end-stage renal disease and HIV.
- Hydroxyurea is a cancer drug used in chronic myelogenous leukemia, polycythemia vera, and sickle cell anemia to increase fetal hemoglobin concentration.
- Hemostasis maintains clot formation balance in healthy tissue, involving platelets and proteins.
- Thrombus is a pathologic clot in a blood vessel, while emboli are floating thrombi.
- Clot formation depends on platelet number and coagulation cascade activation, involving adhesion, degranulation, and aggregation.
- Platelet aggregators like collagen and ADP play a role in the activation process.
- Platelet aggregator inhibitors like aspirin, dipyridamole, ticlopidine, clopidogrel, abciximab, eptifibatide, and tirofiban are used in cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment.
- Heparin is a rapid-acting anticoagulant that inhibits several clotting factors and is used in DVT, PE, and extracorporeal devices.
- Warfarin, an anticoagulant, antagonizes vitamin K function and is used in conditions like atrial fibrillation and venous thrombosis.
- Heparin is metabolized in the liver, excreted by the kidney, and has adverse effects like hemorrhage and hypersensitivity.
- Warfarin is 99% bound to albumin, crosses the placenta, and has adverse effects like hemorrhage and minor bleeding.
