NORMAL CLOTTING
Response to vessle injury
1. Vasoconstriction to reduce blood flow
2. Platelet plug formation (von willebrand factor
binds damaged vessle and platelets)
3. Activation of clotting cascade with generation of
fibrin clot formation
4. Fibrinlysis (clot breakdown)
CLOTTING CASCADE
Normally the ingredients, called factors, act like a
row of dominoes toppling against each other to
create a chain reaction.
If one of the factors is missing this chain reaction
cannot proceed.
VASCULAR PHASE

DAMAGED,

PLATELET PHASE
PLATELETS ADHERE TO THE
DAMAGED SURFACE AND
FORM A TEMPORARY PLUG.

INHIBITORS
30% of people with haemophilia develop an antibody to
the clotting factor they are receiving for treatment.
These antibodies are known as inhibitors.
These patients are treated with high does of FVIIa for
bleeds or surgery. This overrides defect in FVIII or FIX
deficiency.
Longterm management involves attempting to eradicate
inhibitors by administering high dose FVIII (or FIX) in
a process called immune tolerance

failure?

with minimal coagulation test abnormalities

pattern with abnormal coagulation tests

Approach to bleeding disorders
Summary

Identify and correct any specific defect of
hemostasis
– Laboratory testing is almost always needed to
establish the cause of bleeding
– Screening tests (PT,PTT, platelet count) will often
allow placement into one of the broad categories
– Specialized testing is usually necessary to establish a
specific diagnosis

Use non-transfusional drugs whenever
possible

RBC transfusions for surgical procedures
Clinical Approach








When did it start ?
Dental history
Spontanous bruising
Bleeding at surgery
Bleeding into joints
Menstrual bleeding
Epistaxis
One site only? Where ? When ?
High yield questions







Family history
Pattern of bleeding - where
Difficult to stop or
Re-bleeds
Drug history
Alcohol intake
Co Morbid disease
Physical Examination in
Bleeding Disorders






Check sites of bleeding
Is it local or generalized ?
what are the manifestations, petichiae,
ecchymoses, hematoma ?
Are there vessel wall abnormalities,
telangectasia, “palpable purpura,
perifollicular hemorrhages” ?
Are there signs of a connective disease
process
Are There signs of a systemic disease


If isolated abnormality likely a single defect
eg PTT - possible hemophilia, vWd
If unexplained do mixing test for inhibitor
IF more than one abnormality then more
complex
eg. INR and PTT - vitamin K- Coumadin
eg. PTT,TT heparin
eg INR , PTT, TT, Platelets
DIC or liver disease (Cirrhosis)
New anticoagulants Dabigatran,
Rivaroxaban
Efficacy of route of administration
Reversing INR with vitamin K







Depends on clinical scenario
Complete reversal
Partial reversal (too high INR)
IV or oral forms prefered
For complete reversal 5-10 mg IV q12h for
2 doses will reverse completely in 36-48
hours.
1-2 mg will decrease INR to therapeutic
Level within 12-24 hrs
ITP Immune


What is needed for diagnosis
Bone marrow examination
Anti platelet antibodies
When isolated and very low ITP is
most likely diagnosis
Could be a part of another disease but
not likely (SLE , inf mono)
Does it require hospitalization ?
