Study Notes
- Hemorrhagic diathesis is characterized by regular and multiple bleeding, with major manifestations including mucosal bleeding, skin bleeding, and intraarticular and intracranial bleeding.
- Hemorrhagic diathesis is associated with various vascular wall abnormalities, including meningococcemia, bacterial endocarditis, microscopic polyangiitis, Henoch-Schönlein purpura, scurvy, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hereditary hemorrhagic teleangiectasia (Weber-Osler-Rendu syndrome), vascular amyloidosis, and infections.
- Hemorrhagic diathesis presents clinically with petechiae, purpura, ecchymoses, and hemarthroses, and laboratory tests show normal platelet count, bleeding time, prothrombin time, and partial thromboplastin time.
- Bleeding disorders can be classified into those due to vessel wall abnormalities, platelet abnormalities, and clotting factor abnormalities, as well as mixed disorders.
- Vascular wall abnormalities leading to hemorrhagic diathesis include infections, small vessel vasculitides, collagen defects, and hereditary hemorrhagic teleangiectasia.
- Quantitative platelet abnormalities include thrombocytopenias with microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA), thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP), drug-induced thrombocytopenia, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, and HIV-associated thrombocytopenia.
- Qualitative platelet abnormalities include Bernard-Soulier syndrome and Glanzmann thrombasthenia.
- Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a quantitative platelet disorder characterized by antibodies against vWF-cleaving protease (ADAMTS13), inability to cleave active vWF multimers into inactive vWF monomers, accumulation of (active) vWF multimers in the blood, spontaneous platelet activation and aggregation, formation of platelet microthrombi, consumption thrombocytopenia, hemorrhagic diathesis, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, fever, acute kidney injury, and CNS abnormalities.
- Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a quantitative platelet disorder caused by E.coli (O157:H7) infection, endothelial damage, formation of platelet microthrombi, consumption thrombocytopenia, hemorrhagic diathesis, and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia.
- Platelet disorders can be further classified into clinical and laboratory manifestations, including clinical features of hemorrhagic diathesis and laboratory findings, such as thrombocytopenia, bleeding time, prothrombin time, and partial thromboplastin time.
- Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is characterized by decreased platelet count, prolonged bleeding time, normal prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time, and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, while hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) shows normal platelet count, prolonged bleeding time, and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia.
- Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) requires immediate intervention as it is a life-threatening condition, while hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) has a better prognosis with supportive care and adequate hydration.
