Bleeding and Thrombotic Disorders
DR. RAKESH VERMA
HEMOSTASIS
Primary vs. Secondary vs. Tertiary
• Primary Hemostasis
– Platelet Plug Formation
– Dependent on normal platelet number & function
• Secondary Hemostasis
– Activation of Clotting Cascade  Deposition & Stabilization of
Fibrin
• Tertiary Hemostasis
– Dissolution of Fibrin Clot
– Dependent on Plasminogen Activation

Activated platelets
Platelet function assay
Expose platelets within citrated whole blood to high shear (5,000 to
6,000/sec) within a capillary tube and monitor the drop in flow rate
as the platelets form a hemostatic plug within the center of a
membrane coated with collagen and either ADP or epinephrine
Abnormal closure times are an indication of platelet dysfunction, they
are not specific for any disorder
The test is coagulation factor independent
PFA-100™ is more sensitive (>70 percent) than the bleeding time
(20 to 30 percent) in detecting all subtypes of von Willebrand's
disease (vWD)
Exception is type 2N vWD, in which the hemostatic defect resides in
the Factor VIII binding site on vWF
Platelet function assay
Collagen/epinephrine closure time (CEPI-CT)-
Abnormal in Aspirin intake
Collagen/adenosine diphosphate (CADT-CT)-
Normal in aspirin intake
Prothrombin time (10-13sec)
Measure of the extrinsic pathway and common pathway
Bypasses the intrinsic pathway and uses tissue factor in
presence of calcium
Within the combined pathway, factors VII, X, and
prothrombin are vitamin-K dependent and are altered by
warfarin

vitamin K-dependent and -independent clotting factors.

absence) of a coagulation factor or the presence of a
coagulation factor inhibitor

HemoPHilia
Hemophilia A (85%) and B(10-15%) are X-linked recessive
diseases
Severe disease -<1 % factor activity; bleeding is often
spontaneous
Moderate disease - 1 to 5 %; require mild trauma to induce
bleeding
Mild disease - >5 %; prolonged bleeding after dental work,
surgery, or injuries from moderate trauma.
The most common sites are into joints and muscles and from the
gastrointestinal tract
The hallmark of hemophilia is the hemarthrosis
•Some female carriers of hemophilia A or hemophilia B will have
sufficient reduction of their factor VIII or factor IX through lionization
of the X chromosome to produce mild bleeding disorders in carriers
•In severe hemophilia, APTT is usually two to three times the
upper limits. other screening tests platelet count, bleeding time,
prothrombin time, and thrombin time are normal. Specific assay
for factors will confirm the diagnosis.
•Evaluation for inhibitors should also be performed. In such
patients the quantitative Bethesda assay for inhibitor should be
performed.
TreaTmeNT
The two components to therapy are treatment of active bleeding and
inhibitor ablation via immune tolerance induction
Cryoprecipitate has high levels of factor VIII
Porcine Factor VIII
Recombinant human Factor VIII
A recombinant factor VIIa is for treating factor VIII or factor IX
inhibitor patients.
The choice of factor VIII product usually is based upon safety, purity,
and cost.
 Prophylaxis is the Standard care of treatment for severe disease
Mild hemophilia A - Desmopressin acetate.
Desmopressin is ineffective in hemophilia B.
The prevention of trauma, avoidence of Aspirin and other
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
dosiNg
One international unit (IU) of clotting factor is that
amount present in 1 mL of pooled normal plasma
Dose of F VIII (IU) = Weight (kg) x (Desired % increase) x 0.5
Dose of F IX (IU) = Weight (kg) x (Desired % increase) x 1.4
Depends on the presence or absence of inhibitors.

Thrombotic disorders
A hereditary predisposition to thrombosis can be caused by deficiencies of the regulatory
proteins:
•Protein C
•Protein S
•Antithrombin III
•Plasminogen;
•Factor V Leiden
•Prothrombin mutation (G20210A)
•Homocystinuria.
•Lipoprotien (a)
Investigations
no screening tests
specific testing is required for each component
family history
Genetic DNA testing for factor V Leiden and the prothrombin mutation
Treatment
Fresh frozen plasma
Protein C concentrate,
Warfarin
dIc
A conditions resulting in consumption of clotting factors, platelets, and anticoagulant proteins.
Causing widespread intravascular deposition of fibrin leading to tissue ischemia and necrosis, a
generalized hemorrhagic state, and hemolytic anemia.
Clinical Manifestations.
Bleeding frequently occurs from venipuncture or surgical incision.
Petechiae and ecchymoses.
Infarction of skin, subcutaneous tissue, or kidneys.
Anemia caused by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia.
Lab
prolongation of the PT, PTT and TT.
Platelet counts may be profoundly depressed.
Smear shows fragmented, burr, and helmet-shaped, schistocytes.
FDPs, D-dimers elevated (The D-dimer is more specific for activation of coagulation and
fibrinolysis than the FDP )
Treatment – two steps
(1) treat the trigger that caused the DIC
(2) restore normal homeostasis by correcting the shock, acidosis, and hypoxia that usually
complicate the DIC
Blood components
In DIC associated with sepsis, activated protein C (APC) drotrecogin alpha can be given
Heparin in patient who have vascular thrombosis

    A conditions resultingin consumption of clotting factors, platelets, and anticoagulant proteins. Causing widespread intravascular deposition of fibrin leading to tissue ischemia and necrosis, a generalized hemorrhagic state, and hemolytic anemia. Clinical Manifestations. Bleeding frequently occurs from venipuncture or surgical incision. Petechiae and ecchymoses. Infarction of skin, subcutaneous tissue, or kidneys. Anemia caused by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. Lab prolongation of the PT, PTT and TT. Platelet counts may be profoundly depressed. Smear shows fragmented, burr, and helmet-shaped, schistocytes. FDPs, D-dimers elevated (The D-dimer is more specific for activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis than the FDP ) Treatment – two steps (1) treat the trigger that caused the DIC (2) restore normal homeostasis by correcting the shock, acidosis, and hypoxia that usually complicate the DIC Blood components In DIC associated with sepsis, activated protein C (APC) drotrecogin alpha can be given Heparin in patient who have vascular thrombosis
