Vessel Defects Causing Bleeding
• Begins with bleeding episode in presence of
normal lab tests for coagulation function
• Types divided into hereditary and acquired
• Symptoms are usually of the superficial ones.
• Usually these diseases are diagnosed by
exclusion. After ruling out PLT disorders,
coagulation or fibrinolytic disorders in a
patient who has bleeding symptoms.
Vascular Diseases
• PLT count and screening tests for coagulation
factors are usually normal.
• PLT function tests such as bleeding time and
other PLT function tests are also normal, but
BT may be prolonged in some vascular
diseases.
Inherited vascular disorders
• They are very rare, and while bleeding is a
common symptom, hemostasis tests are NOT
necessary for diagnosis.
Hereditary Connective Tissue Defects
• Defect affects the ability to support vessel walls
• Examples
– Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
• Lack of structural tissue support (collagen disorders)
• Skin elasticity and fragility.
• Hypermobility of joints
• Evidenced by bleeding/bruising
• Recurrent joint problems & scarring of the face.
• The most serious is deficiency of type III collagen (blood
vessel type). Which leads to Acute & severe Internal
bleeding & sudden death.
• Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum
– Autosomal recessive trait
– Lack of skin elasticity
– Some connective tissue calcified
– Bleeding and bruising evident
Hereditary Vessel Disease
Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT)
• Inherited as an autosomal dominant trait
• Defect of angiogenesis
• Involves bleeding from abnormally dilated vessels
“telangiectasias”
• Vessels involved do not contract normally and collapse
easily
• Patient has pinpoint lesions (tiny areas of bleeding)
• Lesions occur on the face, hands, and feet
• May develop at all ages
• Blood loss may cause anemia
• Diagnosis based on physical appearance
Kasabach-Merritt syndrome
(Hemangioma)
• Benign tumor of vascular tissue
• Grow rapidly to a giant proportion.
• Threaten the function of neighboring tissues.
• Mechanical injury may result in severe
bleeding.
• May trigger a localized DIC with
thrombocytopenia & consumption
coagulopathy, thereby worsening bleeding.
• Tumor composed of many blood vessels
(blood-filled)
HT or also called Cavernous Hemangioma
• Lesion may swell and bleed
• Tumor site may form clots, hemolyzed RBCs and
vessel obstruction
• Present at birth
Acquired Connective Tissue Defects
Vitamin C Deficiency (Scurvy)
– Caused deficient Vitamin C
– Vitamin C required for vessel collagen integrity
– Acts as “cement” holding endothelial cells
together
– Lack of Vitamin C prevents proper collagen
formation
– Result: bleed and vessel fragility
– Symptoms include gum bleeding, petechiae and
bleeding into tissues and muscles
– Treated with Vitamin C
Senile Purpura
– Occurs in elderly population
– Usually benign
– Collagen degradation/loss affects vessel
integrity
– Bruising on arms/hands
– No treatment/therapy available
Other Vascular Disorders
Self-produced “autoantibodies” damage to vessels
– Caused by drugs resulting in purpura
– Caused by allergic/immune disturbance
Evidenced by swelling, ulcers, purpura and lesions
and other symptoms
• Affects children
•
– Other allergic purpura-Hemoch-Schonlein
variety
Accompanied by joint and abdominal pain
• Avoidance of allergen aids recovery
•
Infectious purpura
– Observe petechiae and purpura
– Results from
Inflammatory response to agent
Autoimmune/autoantibody response
Bacterial products or toxins
Injury caused by agent
– Low platelets observed and DIC
– Cure is to treat infection
Platelet Disorders Classification:
Quantitative PLT Disorders
Thrombocytopenia
Thrombocytosis
PLT Reference Range = 150 - 450 x109/L
Thrombocytopathy
Quantitative PLT Disorders
Acquired Coagulation Disorders
• Vitamin K deficiency
• Warfarin therapy
• Liver disease
• Antibodies against factor VIII (or other factors)
• Massive transfusion
• Thrombocytopenia
– False reading
• Clumping of platelets
• Platelet satelitism
– Margination in congestive splenomegaly
– True thrombocytopenia
• Failure to produce platelets
– Acquired - drugs - alcohol

• Platelet destruction
– Immune
• Idiopathic
• Disorders of platelet function
– Inherited
• Von Willebrand’s disease

• Uremia
Coagulation disorders
• Hemophilias A & B
• Others
• Von Willebrand’s disease
Thrombocytopenia
• Reduced platelet count.
• The most common cause of excess or
abnormal bleeding.
• thrombocytopenia is also a symptom of a
disease
Platelet count
Symptoms
• 50-100 X109/L
Prolonged bleeding
following trauma
• < 50X109/L
Easy bruising
Purpura following
minor trauma
• < 20 X109/L
Spontaneous bleeding
Petechiae
May suffer spontaneous
internal and intracranial
bleeding
Causes
Thrombocytopenia
• Usually mucosal bleeding
• Epistaxis, menorrhagia, and GI bleeding is
common
• Trauma does not usually cause bleeding
Thrombocytopenia
• Three mechanisms of Thrombocytopenia
– Decreased production
• Usually chemotherapy, myelophthisic disease, or BM
effects of alcohol or thiazides
– Splenic Sequestration
• Rare
• Results from malignancy, portal hypertension, or
increased Splenic RBC destruction ( hereditary
spherocytosis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia)
– Increased Destruction
Thrombocytopenia
• Immune thrombocytopenia
– Multiple causes including drugs, lymphoma,
leukemia, collagen vascular disease
– Drugs Include
• Digitoxin, sulfonamindes, phenytoin, heparin,
cocaine, Quinine, quinidine, glycoprotein
antagonists
– After stopping drugs platelet counts usually
improve over 3 to 7 days
– Prednisolone (1mg/kg) with rapid taper can
shorten course
ITP
• Diagnosis of exclusion
• Associated with IgG anti-platelet antibody
• Platelet count falls to less that 20,000
Acute Form
– Most common in children 2 to 6 years
– Viral Prodrome common in the 3 weeks
prior
– Self Limited and > 90% remission rate
– Supportive Treatment
– Steroids are not helpful
ITP
• Chronic Form
– Adult disease primarily
– Women more often than men
– Insidious onset with no prodrome
– Symptoms include: easy bruising, prolonged
menses, mucosal bleeding
– Bleeding complications are unpredictable
– Spontaneous remission is rare
Inherited disorders of platelet function
• Defects in platelet – Vessel Wall interactions
Von Willebrand disease
• Defects in platelet – platelet interactions
Congenital afibrinogenemia
• Defects in platelet Granules, Secretion and
Signal Transduction
• Defects of platelet procoagulant function
• Defects in structural companents
Hemophilia
• Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder
in which there is a deficiency or lack of factor
VIII (hemophilia A) or factor IX (hemophilia B)
Hemophilia A and B
Hemophilia
• Hemophilia A and B are X-linked recessive
disorders
• Hemophilia is typically expressed in males and
carried by females
• Severity level is consistent between family
members
• ~30 % of cases of hemophilia are new
mutations
• Hemophilia A, also called factor VIII (FVIII)
deficiency or classic hemophilia
• Hemophilia B, also called factor IX (FIX)
deficiency or Christmas disease
• Factor XII , IX, a clotting protein
Other Factor Deficiencies
• Factor deficiencies such as I, II, V, VII, X, XI, XII
and XIII, rare disorders. These very rare factor
deficiencies
Detection of Hemophilia
• Family history
• Symptoms
– Bruising
– Bleeding with circumcision
– Muscle, joint, or soft tissue bleeding
• Hemostatic challenges
– Surgery
– Dental work
– Trauma, accidents
• Laboratory testing
Screening Tests
• PT is prolonged or (test extrinsic pathway)
• Platelets are normal in count and function.
• TT (thrombin time): prolonged in disorders of
fibrinogen.
• If any test is abnormal of these screening
tests, additional testing may resolve the
disorder
Additional Testing
• Specific Factor Assays.
• Fibrinogen Level
• Antithrombin Level
von Willebrand’s Disease
• Family of bleeding disorders
• Caused by a deficiency or an abnormality
of von Willebrand Factor
• Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is a genetic
disorder caused by missing or defective von
Willebrand factor (VWF)
• A clotting protein. VWF binds factor VIII, a key
clotting protein, and platelets in blood vessel
walls
• Which help form a platelet plug during the
clotting process. The condition is named after
Finnish physician Erik von Willebrand
vWF Production
• Vascular endothelial cells
• Megakaryocytes
• Most vWF is secreted
• Some vWF is stored
– Weibel-Palade bodies in endothelial cells
– Alpha granules of platelets
• Constitutive and stimulus-induced pathways
• Release stimuli
– Thrombin
– Histamine
– Fibrin
• Release stimuli (platelets)
– Thrombin
– Collagen
• Carrier protein for Factor VIII (FVIII)
– Protects FVIII from proteolytic
degradation
– Localizes FVIII to the site of vascular
injury
– Hemophilia A: absence of FVIII
Clinical Manifestations
• Most with the disease have few or no
symptoms
• For most with symptoms, it is a mild
manageable bleeding disorder with
clinically severe hemorrhage only with
trauma or surgery
• Types II and III: Bleeding episodes may be
severe and potentially life threatening
• Disease may be more pronounced in
females because of menorrhagia
• Bleeding often exacerbated by the
ingestion of aspirin
• Severity of symptoms tends to decrease
with age due to increasing amounts of
vWF
Symptoms
• Frequent nosebleeds
• Easy bruising
• Excessive bleeding during and after invasive
procedures
(such as tooth extractions and surgery )
• Women often experience menorrhagia heavy
menstrual periods
Disseminated Intravascular
Coagulation
• An acquired syndrome characterized by
systemic intravascular coagulation
• Coagulation is always the initial event
• Most morbidity and mortality depends on
extent of intravascular thrombosis
• Multiple causes
Pathophysiology of DIC
• Activation of Blood Coagulation
• Suppression of Physiologic Anticoagulant
Pathways
• Impaired Fibrinolysis
• Cytokines
