9. Drug induced Thrombocytopenia
Formation of Drug dependent antibodies
1-3 weeks after starting of drugs.
Diagnosis is clinical.
Common drugs:- Anti epileptics,Antibiotics-
Linezolid,vancomycin,Quinine,TMP-
SMX,Sulfonamide,Rifampicin,Piperacillin
Chemotherapy,Procainamide,Thaizide,heparin.
Resolves within 7-10 days after stopping offending drug.
11. Management of TTP
Acquired (95%):-
Plasma infusion (30ml/kg) until plasma exchange(effevtive 90-
95%) canbe started.
IVIG
Rituximab
Corticosteroids
Immunesuppresant-Cyclophosphamide,Azathioprine
Monoclonal Antibody- Caplacizumab:Anti vwF nanobody.
Congenital TTP (5%)treated by repeated infusion of FFP.
12. Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome
Clinical triad of MAHA,Acute Renal insuffiency,Thrombocytopenia.
D+ HUS: Early and repeated dialysis , supportive care including anemia
correction,infection treatment and HTN control.
Atypical HUS: Eculizumab
PEX only alternative.
Plasma infusion given Immunosuppression:
every 10-14 days Prednisolone
Cyclophosphamide
After PLEX is done
Anti FH+
13. Congenital Platelet Function Disorder
Others- Dense body deficiency
Grey platelet sydrome
Treatment:-Platelet transfusion during bleeding episode
Desmopressin o.3 mcg/kg iv
Definitive-SCT
Bernard soulier syndrome Glanzzmann
thrombasthenia
Inheritance AR AR
Defect GP Ib complex
(PLATELET-VVF receptor)
GP IIb-IIIa
(Platelet-fibrinogen receptor)
Platelet size & BT Big >11fl , BT-increased PL- normal size, BT-
prolonged
Platelet aggregation test RIPA-Absent
Normal with others agonist
RIPA-normal
Absent with others.
14. Acquired Platelet Function Disorder
• Uremia-coagulopathy is an indication for dialysis
• Anti-platelet drugs- Aspirin
16. • Diagnosis:-
• Clinical- Hemarthosis,Muscular haemorrhage
• Investigation- APTT: 2-3 times ULN
CBC,PBS,PC,TT,BT-normal
●Specific factor assay
●Mixing study
●Bethesda Test
17. Type of Haemorrhage Hemophilia A Hemophilia B

40IU/kg
may need every 2-3 day interval

Hemarthosis 40IU/kg on D1
20IU/kg on D2,4 until resolved.
Additional dose on alternate day
for 7-10 day if symptoms persists
80IU/kg on D1
40IU/kg on D2,4 until resolved.
Additional dose on alternate day
for 7-10 day if symptoms persists
Life Threatening haemorrhage
(ICH.,upper airway
bleeding,massive git bleeding)
60IU/kg factor VIII concentrate
then start infusion @ 2-4 IU/kg/hr
to maintain level >100IU/dl for 24
hours.
120IU/kg factor VIII concentrate
then 60 IU/kg every 12-24 hourly
to maintain factor level > 40 IU/kg
18. • Desmopressin: (Stimate)
effective only in mild hemophilia A (>5%)
Dose:- 1 puff (150mcg) if BW<50kg
2 puff (300mcg) if BW>50kg
:- Avoid violent trauma/contact,sports,NSAIDs
vaccinations
initiated after first episode of haemorrhage
20IU/kg thrice weekly for factor VIII
20IU/KG twice weekly for factor IX
19. Chronic Complications:- Chronic arthopathy
Development of inhibitor
Risk of transfusion related infections
Treatment of Inhibitor:-
1.Desensitization program: high dose factor VIII & IX infused to saturate
inhibitor
2.Rituximab
3.FEIBA (50-100U/kg)
4.Recombinent factor VIIa.
21. Factor VII deficiency: FFP is ineffective.
Recombinent factor VIIa given.
Congenital afibrinogenemia/dysfibrinogenemia: AR
Prolongation of PT,APTT,TT,RT
Treatment- FFP/cryoprecipitate
1 unit of cryoprecipitate contains 100-150 mg of factor I
Factor XIII deficiency:-Delayed haemorrhage d/t instability of clot.
H/o delated u.cord separation
poor wound healing
Diagnosis:-Clot solubility positive in presence 5m
urea.
Treatment- FFP/cryoprecipitate
