7. Measures effectiveness of the extrinsic and common pathway
Normal value:11-16 secs
Prolonged:
Extrinsic pathway factor deficiency
Warfarin
vit k def
liver dx
Consumption(DIC)
Oral anticoagulant therapy
Prothrombin time(PT)
9. Measures effectiveness of the intrinsic pathway and common pathway
Normal value:25-40 sec
APTT prolongs:
Intrinsic pathway factor defficiency
Von willebrand disease
Hemophilia
Antiphospholipid antibodies
Sepsis/DIC
Activated partial thromboplastin time
(aPTT)
11. Time for thrombin to convert fibrinogen to fibrin
A measure of fibrinolytic pathway
Normal pathway:9-13 secs
TT prolongs:
Hypo afibrinogeneamia
Dysfibrinogenaemia
Non functionated heparin
Chronic liver dx
Thrombin time
12. Clotting tests can be abnormal due to either a clotting factor deficiency or
an inhibitor of normal factor activity(e.g. antibody)
Mix patient’s plasma with control plasma
Check pt and ptt Two times after mixing study
(immediate and 30 min to 2h after being in
Incubator in 37degree)
Mixing study
15. Mutated gene in hemophilia A is called f8 and in
hemophilia B is called f9.
They are both in chromosome X
So this disease is x-linked recessive
16. • Inherited hemorrhagic disorder caused by deficiency of factor VIII
or factor IX.
• X linked recessive inheritance hence affect males exclusively.
• Incidence in hemophilia A is 1 in 5000 male alive births.
• Incidence in hemophilia B is 1 in 30000 male alive births.
• Female who carry a single mutated gene, are generally
asymptomatic.
17. Hemophilia is often called the disease of kings because the most
famous case was Czar of Russia(alexei nikolaevich) and it was
carried by many members of Europe’s royal family.Queen Victoria
of England was a carrier of hemophilia.
18. Hemophilia B also known as Christmas disease because
The first patient having this condition was named Steven
Christmas.
19. Signs and symptoms of hemophilia A and B are nearly clinically
identical.
Severity of symptoms depends on severity of mutation which
determined the activity of the factors.
Signs and symptoms
20. Easy bruising(ecchymosis)
Hematomas deep in muscle
Prolonged bleeding after cut or surgery like circumcision
Oozing after tooth extraction
GI bleeding
Hematuria
Severe nose bleed
Hemarthrosis
Stroke in brain
Increase of ICP
Prolonged bleeding after umbilical cord is cut
22. • Lab tests
Platelet (normal)
Prothrombin time (normal)
Tests Extrinsic and Common pathway(VII,X,V,II,I)
Partial thromboplastic time (increase)
Tests Intrinsic and Common pathway(XII,XI,IX,VIII,X,V,II,I)
Factor assay
• Confirmation
Tests for specific factor activities and mutation testing.
Diagnosis
23. Treatment of hemophilia may involve the following:
management of hemostasis
Management of bleeding episodes
Use factor replacement products and adjuvant medication
Treatment of patient with factor inhibitors
Treatment and rehabilitation of patient with hemophilia synovitis
24. Injections of missing or non functioning clotting factor.
high purity factors(factor concentration)
Recombinant human factors
FFP
cryoprecipitate just for hemophilia A
Desmopressin(DDAVP) can be helpful for Hemophilia A.
Desmopressin stimulate VWF which stabilized factor VIII.
Treatment
25.
26. Mild hemorrhage(e.g. gingival
bleeding,epistaxis,early hemarthrosis) maintain an
FVIII level of 30%.( 15U/KG/dose 3 times a day for 2-
3days)
Major hemorrhages:maintain anFVIII level of at least
50%(50U/kg 2-3 times a day for 1 weak.)
Dose in FVIII IU=(wt per kg)(desired FVIII increase)(0.5
IU/kg per IU/Dl)
27.
28. • Factor injection 3 times a weak as a prophylactic can be done in
severe hemophilia.
• If the patient have severe deficiency ,supplemental factors can
be seen as a foreign by the immune system which can produce
antibody (inhibitors ).Inhibitors diminish effectiveness overtime
or may cause anaphylaxis.
