Study Notes
Coagulation and Anticoagulation
- Protein C inhibits thrombin-induced activation of factor VIII.
Thrombus Formation
- The main component of a thrombus is a platelet plug.
- The main manifestation of clot formation in the venous circulation is swelling.
Contraindications for Heparin Administration
- Severe liver disease and elevated prothrombin time (PT) are contraindications for administering unfractionated heparin (UFH) due to its potential to induce bleeding.
- Inability to supervise and monitor treatment constitutes a contraindication for unfractionated heparin (UFH).
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
- Factor Xa mediates clot formation in deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
- Symptoms of DVT include pain, swelling, and warmth.
Heparin Therapy
- If major bleeding occurs during unfractionated heparin therapy, protamine sulfate should be administered.
- Common symptoms of bleeding associated with heparin therapy include bruising, petechiae, and easy bleeding.
Low-Molecular-Weight Heparins (LMWHs)
- The advantage of LMWHs over unfractionated heparin (UFH) is that they have a more predictable dose response and lower incidence of thrombocytopenia.
- The major advantage of LMWHs over UFH in terms of clearance is that they are eliminated more slowly and have a longer half-life.
Warfarin Therapy
- Warfarin therapy monitors the international normalized ratio (INR).
- Warfarin inhibits vitamin K-dependent clotting factors to exert its anticoagulant effect.
Thrombolytic Agents
- Thrombolytic agents are proteolytic enzymes that dissolve thrombi.
- Thrombolytic agents do not have a direct effect on previously circulating clotting factors or formed thrombi.
Risk Factors and Associations
- Venous stasis is associated with venous thromboembolism.
- A risk factor for venous thromboembolism is immobilization.
Coagulation Cascade
- Thrombin plays a key role in the coagulation cascade by enhancing platelet aggregation.
- The pulmonary vascular endothelium complex inhibits the activity of thrombus arising from the systemic circulation in the pulmonary blood vessels.
- Heparin binds to antithrombin to exert its anticoagulant effect.
