Extrinsic pathway → begins
with trauma to the vascular
wall & surrounding tissues.
Intrinsic pathway →
begins in the blood
itself.
Bleeding Disorders
Vascular bleeding disorders
1-Congenital defects of the
vessel wall Ehlers- Danlos
syndrome
2-Senile purpura: defect in the
subcutaneous tissue
supporting the bvs
3-Scurvy vitamin C
deficiency
4- Septic Vasculitis
Infections
5-Henoch-Schonlein Purpura
Platelets disorders
Number :Thrombocytopenia
(ITP)
Incidence
in adults is approximately 66
cases per 1,000,000 per year
in children is 50 cases
per 1,000,000 per year
etiology
immune system mistakenly
attacking and destroying
platelets
Clinical
manifestations
excessive bruising
(purpura)
Bleeding from the gums or
nose
Blood in urine or stools
petechiae
epistaxis
CHILDHOOD VS ADULT
Chronic ITP (adult)
persists longer than 6
months without a
specific cause.
Acute ITP (childern)
young children (2 to 6
years old)
symptoms may follow a
viral illness
symptoms usually
disappear in less than six
months
Management
Treatment in children
do not require treatment, and
thrombocytopenia resolves
spontaneously.
Treatment in adults
Corticosteroids such as prednisone
cataracts, high blood
sugar, increased risk of
infections and
Osteoporosis
IVIG
headache, vomiting and
low blood pressure
Thrombopoietin receptor agonists
headache, dizziness,
nausea or vomiting, and an
increased risk of blood
clots
Surgical care:
splenectomy
serious post-surgical
complications, and not
having a spleen
permanently increases your
susceptibility to infection
the surgical
removal of the
spleen.
In ITP, the antibody-coated
platelets are often removed
from circulation by the
spleen.
Theoretically, if the spleen
is removed, the platelets
will remain in the blood
stream.
The spleen can also be the site of
antibody production. Therefore
removing the spleen may reduce the
amount of anti-platelet antibodies in
addition to removing the
antibody-coated platelets.
SIDE EFFECTS
pathogenesis
an abnormal autoantibody, usually
immunoglobulin G (IgG) with specificity for one or
more platelet membrane glycoproteins, binds to
circulating platelet membranes.
Autoantibody-coated platelets
induce Fc receptor-mediated
phagocytosis by mononuclear
macrophages
mononuclear macrophages
in the red pulp destroy
immunoglobulin-coated
platelets
Function: Disorders of
platelet function
Acquired: Aspirin- uremia
(RF)-MPD Inherited : von
Willebrand Disease
Coagulation disorders
– Congenital: – hemophilia A – Factor VIII (8) _
Intrinsic pathway – Hemophilia B –Christmas disease
-Factor IX(9) _ Intrinsic pathway – Von willebrand
