|
||||
| What is pseudothrombocytopenia? | A result of platelet clumping in EDTA tube. Also large and giant platlets are miscounted by automated instruments.

|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| Age of onset of Acute vs. Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura | Acute ITP occurs in preadolescent population. Chronic ITP occurs in post-adolescent population.
🗑
|
||||
| Sex predilection of Acute vs. Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) | Acute ITP: 1:1 (M:F) and Chronic ITP 1:3 (M:F)
🗑
|
||||
| Typical platelet count in Acute vs. Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) | Acute ITP has platelet count <20,000. Chronic ITP has platelet counts between 20-80,000
🗑
|
||||
| (T or F) Acute Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura typically resolves on its own. | True.
🗑
|
||||
| (T or F) Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura is self-limited. | False. Chronic ITP does not resolve without treatment.
🗑
|
||||
| What lymphoproliferative disorder is associated with ITP? | CLL
🗑
|
||||
| What autoimmune disorder is commonly associated with ITP? | SLE
🗑
|
||||
| What infections are commonly associated with ITP? | CMV, HIV
🗑
|
||||
| What is the treatment for ITP with platelet counts <20,000? | Steroids, IVIg, anti-D
🗑
|
||||
| What is the treatment for ITP with platelet counts 20-30,000? | If asymptomatic, treat with prednisone. If symptomatic, treat with steroids, IVIg, and anti-D
🗑
|
||||
| What is the treatment for asymtomatic ITP with platelet counts 30-100,000? | No treatment is required
🗑
|
||||
| What is the treatment for ITP with platelet counts 30-100,000 and minor bleeding? | Prednisone
🗑
|
||||
| What is the treatment for ITP with platelet counts 30-100,000 and major bleeding? | Treat with Prednisone, IVIg, and anti-D
🗑
|
||||
| What are the available second line treatments for ITP? | Cyclophosphamide, Vinca alkaloids, Danazol, Vit C, Protein A immunoadsorption/Plasma exchange, Interferon alpha, Azathioprine, Amicar
🗑
|
||||
| (T or F) Relapse of ITP can occur after splenectomy. | True. Relapse typically occurs in first 6 months.
🗑
|
||||
| Describe the immune complex deposition of drug-induced thrombocytopenia | The inciting drug and antibody attach to the platelet surface and is an "innocent bystander". The platelets are removed by the reticuloendothelial system.
🗑
|
||||
| What are common drugs that incite immune complex deposition drug-induced thrombocytopenia? | Quinidine, NSAIDs, Gold, Sulfa, Dilantin
🗑
|
||||
| Describe the Hapten type drug-induced thrombocytopenia | The inciting drug attaches to the platelet surface, forming a hapten. Antibodies are formed aganist the hapten and as a result the platelet/drug complex is removed by the recticuloendothelial system.
🗑
|
||||
| Pathogenesis of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia Type II | It is an immune-mediated condition. IgG directed aganist PF4-Hep complex on platelets. The IgG binds to platelet Fc(gamma)II receptors, promoting platlet activation. Platelet activation induces platelet clumping and fibrin formation.
🗑
|
||||
| What is the treatment of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia Type II | Discontinue heparin therapy
🗑
|
||||
| When is the typical onset of HITT? | 1)5-10 days after heparin start 2)Within 24 hours if recent exposure to heparin (<3 months)
🗑
|
||||
| What is the typical change in platelet count in HITT? | 50% decrease from baseline platelet count or platelet count <100,000
🗑
|
||||
| What are the clinical manifestations of Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura? | 1)Low platelet count 2)Fever 3)Renal Failure 4)Neurologic findings 5)Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia
🗑
|
||||
| Pathogenesis of TTP | Either congential lack of ADAMSTS13 enzyme or acquired antibodies to ADAMSTS13 enzyme
🗑
|
||||
| What is the treatment for TTP? | Plasma exchange
🗑
|
||||
| An obstetric complication characterized by low platelets, hypertension, and proteinuria. | Preeclampsia
🗑
|
||||
| An obstetric complication characterized by elevated liver enzymes, low platelets, and hemolytic anemia. | HELLP (H)emolytic anemia, (E)levated liver enzymes, (L)ow (P)latelet count
🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| What is the inheritance pattern of Bernard Soulier Disease? | Autosomal recessive
🗑
|
||||
| Pathogensis of Bernard Soulier Disease | It is a disorder of platelet adhesion due to the absence of gycoprotein Ib receptor on the platelet
🗑
|
||||
| Pathogenesis of Glanzmann Thrombasthenia | An intrinsic platelet defect associated with defect in Glanzmann IIbIIIa receptors on platelets resulting in defect in platelet aggregation.
🗑
|
||||
| (T or F) Each unit of platelet concentrate is from an individual donor. | True.
🗑
|
||||
| How long are platelets viable at room temperature on a rocker? | 5 days
🗑
|
||||
| Definition of Thrombocytosis | Platelet count>450,000/uL
🗑
