Deficiency in vW factor
Von Willebrand disease
Deficiency in Gp1b
Bernard Soulier syndrome
Deficiency of GpIIb-IIIa complex
Glanzmann thrombasthenia
Post-Mortem clot
Contains the lines of Zahn and is typically NOT attached to endothelial cell wall
Virchow’s triad: thrombus dev.
Stasis
Endothelial damage
Hypercoagulable state
Protection against thrombus formation
Heparin-like molecules
Activate antithrombin III
TPA
Thrombomodulin
Homocysteine in thrombosis
Increased levels -> damage endothelial cells
- this result from folate/B12 deficiency
Causes of increased hydrostatic pressure: 2 mechanisms and local vs. systemic
Impaired venous return - DVT (local) - CHF (systemic) Arteriolar dilation - heat - neurohumoral days regulation
Decrease in plasma oncotic pressure
- low albumin: liver damage, malnutrition (often both occur)
Na retention
Causes both increased hydrostatic pressure and decreased colloid osmotic pressure - results from primary kidney disorder, hypoperfusion, CHF et al.
Lympedema: 4 causes
Chronic inflammation (fibrosis)
Radiation
Infection
Auxiliary lymphadenectomy < über testable
Anasarca: definition and common location
Generalized widespread edema with tissue swelling
- subQ, periorbital, lungs, brain
Hyperemia vs. congestion
Hyperemia: active shunting of blood to a specific area
Congestion: increase local blood volume due to decreased outflow (passive)
Morphology of hyperemia and congestion
Lungs: dusky red, (acutely) engorged caps, focal intralviolar hemorrhage (chronically) thick, fibrotic septa, hemosiderin laden macs. (Heart failure cells)
Liver: nutmeg liver, small punctuate hemorrhages
Hemorrhage classification: (by size)
Petechiae: 1-3 mm
Purpura: 3-10 mm
Ecchymoses: >10 mm
Hematoma: a big ecchymoses
Alpha granules
Fibrinogen Fibronectin Factor V and VIII Platelet factor 4 (binds heparin) PDGF TGF-B
Dense granules
ADP ATP Ionized calcium Histamine Serotonin Epi
Activation of platelets
Events leading up to platelet plug (step 1)
Fibrin functions
Activated by thrombin
GpIIa-IIIb
Serves as fibronectin receptor crosslinking them into a solid mesh
