Pregunta 6
Pregunta
Why does factor XI deficiency (haemophilia C) usually only cause mild bleeding?
Respuesta
-
because factor X can be activated by the extrinsic system
-
because factor V can be activated by the extrinsic system

because factor X can be activated by the intrinsic system
-
because factor XI is not required for coagulation

Pregunta
When might deficiencies in factor XI result in massive bleeding?
Respuesta

Following trauma (including surgical trauma) when sustained coagulation is required (as factor XI is required for sustained X activation)

Pregunta 18
Pregunta

Respuesta
-
liver
-
spleen
-
bone marrow
-
endothelial cells
-
macrophages
Pregunta 19
Pregunta
What percentage reduction of functional liver mass causes significant decreases in coagulation factor activity?
Pregunta 20
Pregunta
Surprisingly, most animals with hepatic disease of enough severity to cause inadequate synthesis of coagulation factors do not bleed spontaneously, instead, they are at risk of uncontrollable haemorrhage if haemostatic capacity is challenged (e.g. if a liver biopsy is undertaken)
Pregunta 21
Pregunta
What is mandatory before subjecting an animal with known hepatic disease to a liver biopsy or other invasive surgery?
Pregunta 22
Pregunta
Why are animals with significant hepatic disease not only at risk of haemorrhage but also at risk of thrombosis?
Respuesta
-
Hepatocytes synthesise anticoagulants, fibrinolytic agents and fibrinolytic inhibitors
-
The liver is responsible for clearance from the circulation of many of the activated products of coagulation and fibrinolysis
-
Most of the coagulation factors are synthesised by hepatocytes
-
The liver is responsible for the maturation of platelets
Pregunta 23
Pregunta
Why would excessive fibrinolysis be an issue?
Respuesta
-
Premature breakdown of secondary haemostatic fibrin plugs
-
Can result in the formation of a thrombus
-
Premature breakdown of primary haemostatic platelet plugs
