QuestionAnswer
Hemostasis prevention of blood loss following damage to a vessel
blood clotting involves platelet adhesion, activation, and aggregation
thrombus platelet plug and fibrin
normal blood vessels have a what preventing platelets from adhearing endothelial layer
platelets activate acording to what hormones ADP, seratonin, thromboxaine A2
thrombosis pathological formation of a thrombus in the absece of bleeding
arterial thrombus "white" thrombus -made up of platelets and leukocytes associated with rupture of artheroscrlotic plaque in artery, very few red blood cells
Venous thrombus associated wtih stasis of blood, platelets only a minor component
Drugs afect hemostasis and thrombosis by affecting platelet function, blood coagulation, and fibrin degredation
platelet adhesion von willebrand factor on sub-endothelium binds to GP1b receptors on platelet
platelet activation secretion of granule contents, (ADP, 5-HT), synthesis of thomboxane A2, these increase the expression of GP2b and GP3a receptors
platelet aggregation fibrinogen binds to adjacent platelets causing crosslinking
Use of anti platelet drugs primary and secondary prevention of arterial thrombosis in pts a high risk for MI or stroke, during baloon angioplasty or stent placement
Low dose ASA cardioprotective effect, irreverssible inhibitor of TXA2 (lesser effect on endothelial cox due to ability to sythesize more)
ADP receptors on platelets p2y1 receptor and p2y12 receptor, both must be activated in order to aggregate
p2y1 receptor on platelet, involved with ADP, Gq linked leading to aggregation
p2y12 receptor on platelet involved with ADP, cAMP linked activation results in reduced cAMP
p2y12 receptor antagonist ticlopidine and clopidrogel, 7-10 days to see affect, may give loading dose, bleeding, thrombocytopenia, thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura, effects additive wtih ASA
ticlopidine (ticlid) p2y12 receptor antagonist, 2.4% of people get severe neutropenia and fatal agranlocytosis can occur (early in therapy)
clopidrogrel (plavix) p2y12 receptor antagonist
GP2b and GP3a receptor antagonist only used acutely, not chronically, by injectioninfused during coronary angioplasty or stent placementADR: bleeding and thrombocytopenia
abciximab (reopro) GP2b/GP3a receptor antagonist recombinant, most effective, treatment limited to once due to fatal thrombocytopenia after first time, remains bound to platelets long after cleared,

skin necrosis with warfarin in protein c defficient individuals, actually causing initial thrombosis, 3-8 days after start of therapy, usualy in women
purple toe syndrome extremly rare in individuals with artheriscrotic vessels, 3-8wks after starting therapy, discontinuation of warfarin stops pain but not discoloration
increasing warfarin effects inhibiton of metabolism: cimmetidine (tagamet)inhibition of Vit K sythesis in gut: cephalosporinsIncreased degrdation of clotting factors: HypothyroidismDisplacement from plasma protein
reduction of warfarin effects Vit K containing foodsDecreased degredation of clotting factors: hyperthyroidismIncreased metabolism: p45 inducers

Indomethacin NSAID: 25-50% of pts will have severe frontal headaches, used IV to close ductus arteriousis with premature babies
ASA ADR direct GI irritant, may cause iron deficiency anemia, not to be used in children under 16 due to reyes syndrome, salicylism, salicyate intoxication
salicylism mild intoxication, headache, dizziness, sweating, tinnitus, reversible upon discontinueing
salicylate intoxication central excitation, hyperplexia, death via respiratory failure (acute and chronic)
ASA with Cox-I can interfear with the cardioprotective effect, if must take take, take ASA 2 hours prior to COXI
Cox-2 Inhibitors Designed to only inhibit cox in inflamed tissue, however 5 fold incrase in MI/stroke, though there are alot less GI irritations occuring and does not effect platelets
diclofenac moreselective for cox 2 then cox 1 NSAID

treatment of acute gout releave pain and inflamation, NOT ASA!, NSAIDS (indomethacin high dose 3days/ lower 7days), colchicine
treatment of chronic gout reduce serum uric acid concentrations, reduce recurrent attacks
colchicine reduces the activity of the luekocytes, inhibits phagocytosis of urate cystals, must be given within 48 hours or useless, taken every 3 hours until pain releeaved, diarrhea has occured or max dose (8mg) has been reached

allopurinol inhibits xanthine oxidase, useful for over producers and underexcreters ADR: hypersentitiity dermitis reversible upon discontinuation, can desensitize if neccisarym can be life thretening, decrease dose in renal infufficiency
allopurinal drug interactions warfarin, azathioprine and 6 mercaptopurine (these 2 metabolized by xanthine oxidase) also immunosuppressants so very important
