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.
