Study Notes
Hemorrhagic Coagulation Disorders
- Hemorrhage is severe bleeding that can be localized or generalized, acquired or congenital.
- Localized hemorrhage bleeds from a single location, while generalized hemorrhage bleeds from multiple sites.
- Generalized hemorrhage can be a disorder of primary/secondary hemostasis (coagulopathies) and may have a mucocutaneous or anatomic (soft tissue) pattern.
Mucocutaneous Hemorrhage
- Manifested as bruises or purpura (petechiae or ecchymoses).
- Disorder of primary hemostasis with symptoms including:
- Menorrhagia
- Bleeding from the gums
- Hematemesis
- Epistaxis
- Associated with thrombocytopenia, qualitative plt disorder, VWD, or vascular disorders.
Anatomic (Soft Tissue) Hemorrhage
- Acquired or congenital defects of secondary hemostasis (coagulation factor deficiencies).
- Mostly internal: hemarthroses, bleeding into body cavities, muscles, or the CNS.
Acquired vs. Congenital Hemorrhage
- Acquired hemorrhage:
- Began after infancy
- Associated with some disease or physical trauma
- Not duplicated in relatives
- Congenital hemorrhage:
- Uncommon
- Diagnosed in infants/young children
- Relatives with similar symptoms
- Most common: VWD, factor VIII and IX def, plt function disorders
Acquired Coagulopathies
- Acquired coagulopathies include:
- Liver disease
- Renal failure
- Vitamin K deficiency
- Autoanti-VIII Inhibitor and Acquired Hemophilia
- Acquired VWD
- DIC
- Acute Coagulopathy of Trauma-Shock
Acute Coagulopathy of Trauma-Shock
- Accounts for fatal hemorrhage
- Triggered by the combination of injury-related:
- Acute inflammation
- Plt activation
- TF release
- Hypothermia
- Acidosis
- Hypoperfusion
- All are elements of SYSTEMIC SHOCK
Liver Disease
- Liver disease can cause:
- Localized or generalized, mucocutaneous or anatomic bleeding
- Procoagulant deficiency (vitamin K-dependent factors: II, VII, IX, X and control proteins: C, S, Z)
- Factor V deficiency is a more specific marker of liver disease
- Platelet abnormalities:
- Moderate thrombocytopenia
- Due to plt sequestration and destruction
- DIC:
- Complication of liver disease
- Due to decreased production of regulatory proteins (AT, protein C and protein S)
- Also release of activated procoagulants from degenerating liver cells
- Acute/Uncompensated:
- PT, PTT, Thrombin time = ↑
- Fibrinogen
