Study Notes

Primary Haemostatic Disorder

Characterized by thrombocytopenia and von Willebrand disease (VWD).
Immediate bleeding occurs following injury or trauma.
Common symptoms include petechiae (small red or purple spots from bleeding under skin).
Frequent occurrence of epistaxis (nosebleeds).
Menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding) is a common symptom.
Haemarthroses (joint bleeding) does not occur in this disorder.
Intramuscular hematomas are rarely observed.
Gender distribution between affected individuals is equal.

Coagulation Disorder (Secondary Haemostatic Disorders)

Primarily associated with hemophilia.
Bleeding is typically delayed after injury.
Petechiae do not occur in this type of disorder.
Epistaxis is less common in affected individuals.
Menorrhagia is also uncommon in this disorder.
Haemarthroses frequently occur, indicating bleeding into joints.
Increased incidence of intramuscular hematomas.
Over 80% of cases occur in males.

Causes of Bleeding Defects

Can arise from vascular defects leading to weak vessels that leak.
Decreased platelet numbers result in thrombocytopenia.
Impaired platelet function can contribute to bleeding disorders.
Decreased coagulation factors lead to prolonged or excessive bleeding.

Thrombocytes (Platelets)

Thrombocytes are commonly known as platelets, crucial for blood clotting.
Normal platelet count ranges from 150 to 400 x 10^9/L.

Thrombocytopenia

Defined as a condition with a blood platelet count below normal levels.
Indicative of a potential risk for excessive bleeding and bruising.
