(A) After vascular injury, local neurohumoral

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

factors induce a transient vasoconstriction.

(B) Platelets bind via glycoprotein Ib (GpIb)
receptors to von Willebrand factor (vWF) on exposed
extracellular matrix (ECM) and are activated,

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

undergoing a shape change and granule release.
Released ADP & thromboxane A2 (TxA2) induce
additional platelet aggregation through platelet GpIIb
-IIIa receptor binding to fibrinogen, and form the
primary hemostatic plug.

Platelet adhesion and aggregation-

Von Willebrand factor functions as an
adhesion bridge between subendothelial

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

collagen and the glycoprotein Ib (GpIb)
platelet receptor. Aggregation occurs by
fibrinogen bridging GpIIb-IIIa receptors on
different platelets.
Congenital deficiencies in the various

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

receptors or bridging molecules lead to
different diseases.


(C) Local activation of the coagulation cascade

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

(involving tissue factor and platelet phospholipids) results
in fibrin polymerization, "cementing" the platelets into a
definitive secondary hemostatic plug.

(D) Counterregulatory mechanisms, mediated by

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA, a fibrinolytic product)
and thrombomodulin, confine the hemostatic process to
the site of injury

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

II. Peripheral blood smear examination
III. Platelet count
IV. Mean Platelet volume

HESS` CAPILLARY FRAGILITY TEST:

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Cuff is wrapped in upper arm and pressure is maintained midway b/w systolic and

diastolic BP for 15 minutes, 4 cm below the elbow joint, a circle of 2.5 cm diameter is

drawn on the anterior aspect of forearm.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

Upto 10 new hemorrhagic spots are normal. But >20 new spots are always

pathological.

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

This is positive in increased capillary fragility, ITP.

Screening tests for secondary hemostasis are -

I. Clotting time

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

II. Prothrombin time (PT) and Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)
III. Thrombin Time (TT)
Col ection of blood for coagulation studies

The anticoagulant used for coagulation studies is trisodium

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

citrate (3.2%), with anticoagulant to blood proportion being 1:9.

Clotting Time

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

This is a crude test and is now replaced by activated partial thromboplastin time.
Prolongation of clotting time only occurs in severe deficiency of a clotting factor and is

normal in mild or moderate deficiency.
PROTHROMBIN TIME(PT)

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

PT assesses coagulation factors in extrinsic pathway (F VII) and

common pathway.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

Principle:- Tissue thromboplastin and calcium are added to

platelet poor plasma and clotting time is determined.

CONCEPT OF INR

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

1.The international normalized ratio (INR) was introduced in an attempt to standardize the

PT.
2.Calculation ~ INR = [ PT (patient) / PT (Control) ]ISI

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

The INR has no units (it is a ratio)

**ISI, or international sensitivity index is a function of the thromboplastin reagent.

** NORMAL RANGE PT 11-16 seconds

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

INR 0.9 ? 1.1.
Uses of PT
1. To monitor patients who are on oral anticoagulant

2. To assess liver function

4. To screen for hereditary deficiency of coagulation

ARTIAL THROMBOPLASTIN TIME (APTT)

Significance
Reflects efficiency of Intrinsic and Common pathway.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

Principle

The test measures the clotting time of plasma after the activation of contact

factors (Kaolin/Silica/El agic acid) and the addition of phospholipid and

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

CaCl2, but without added tissue thromboplastin.

So it indicates the overal efficiency of the Intrinsic pathway.

Normal range

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

26 to 40 seconds.
Uses of APTT:-

1. Screening for hereditary disorders of

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

coagulation

2. To monitor heparin therapy
3. Screening for circulating inhibitors of

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

coagulation

aPTT is prolonged in:-

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

1.Inherited deficiencies of factor VIII (Hemophilia A) and Factor IX (Hemophilia B)
2.Non specific inhibitor antibodies against F VIII e.g. Lupus inhibitor (Don't act directly
but block interaction of FVIII with other clotting factors)
3.DIC
4.Heparin

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

( Inhibits factor XII, XI and X through antithrombin III & Heparin therapy is monitored
through aPTT)
5. Vit K deficiency
6.Massive transfusion of plasma depleted stored blood.
THROMBIN TIME(TT)

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Significance:-

Asses the final step of coagulation i.e. conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin in presence of

thrombin.

Bypasses Extrinsic & Intrinsic pathway.

Causes of prolonged TT

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

1. Disorders of fibrinogen-

i) Afibrinogenaemia
ii) Hypofibrinogenaemia
