Prothrombin time
Thromboplastin:
Tissue factor - apoprotein - phospholipid Phospholipid Calcium
Screening for inherited and acquired coagulopathies Determination of the activity of extrinsic pathway factors Lupus anticoagulant diagnostics (diluted prothrombin time assay)
Same sample measured by different ways can give very different PT values in seconds

INR
INR: International normalized ratio - was established by the WHO and the International Committee on Thrombosis and Hemostasis for reporting the results of prothrombin tests. - All PT results are standardized by this calculation:
Citrated plasma
APTT prolongs..
1. Intrinsic pathway factor deficiencies (FXII, XI, VIII, IX, HMWK, prekallikrein ) - Inherited or acquired
Thrombin time
Thrombin (Ca++)
Citrated plasma
TT prolongs..
1. Hypo- afibrinogenaemia 2. Dysfibrinogenaemia 3. Non fractionated heparin th 4. Fibrinogen/ fibrin degradation products 5. Rare situations
dysproteinaemias severe hypoalbuminaemia
Thrombolytics
Streptokinase urokinase (u-PA) Recombinant tissue type plasminogen activator (t-PA) prourokinase plasminogen-streptokinase-activator complex plasminogen activators short halflife non perfect fibrinspecifity (fibrinogen cleavage also) bleeding complications
2. During thrombolysis:
to confirm thrombolysis: TT (FDP/fdp) to predict bleeding complications
3. After thrombolysis:
to establish the timing of switching to heparin (TT is measurable)
Anticoagulant therapy: oral (cumarin) parenteral - non fractionated heparin - fractionated heparin
1. Conventional= non fractionated heparin therapy iv Na-heparin infusion iv Na-heparin bolus sc Ca-heparin prevention Small dose sc Ca-heparin 2. Fractionated= LMWH therapy prevetion
Sample handling:
separate plasma in 1-2 hours
(prevent PF4 heparin - inhibitory effect)
2. Clinical forms:
Type I. HIT (moderate, first 4 days, plt >100G/L, spontaneously improves during heparin therapy) Type II. HIT (4-14th day, plt <100G/L, improves within 1 mont thromboembolic complications)
3. Mechanism:
Type I. HIT: heparin-induced direct platelet aggregation Type II. HIT: immune mechanism (heparin-PF4 complex, anti-heparin-PF4 antibodies bound to Fc receptors of platelets)
Longer than conventional heparin as it is eliminated via kidney only (s.c. 4 hours, i.v. 2 hours)
LMWH
Inhibition of FXa: 5-sacharid units (plenty) Inhibition of FIIa: 18-sacharid units (few) Inhibition rate FXa /FIIa: 1.8-3.5

gamma-carboxiglutamic acid
Proposed therapeutic ranges for monitoring of oral anticoagulant treatment (International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis)
1. Pre-, and perioperative oral anticoagulation: hip replacement other surgeries 2. Primary and secondary prevention of venous trombosis 3. Active venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, prevention of recurrent venous thrombosis 4. Prevention of arterial thromboembolism (eg. arteficial heart valve) INR 2.0-3.0 1.5-2.5 2.0-3.0 2.0-4.0 3.0-4.5
The higher the INR, the stronger the coumarine therapy. too high bleeding too low thrombotic events
Weekly, then monthly PT (APTT) More frequent monitoring is indicated: change in dosage
instable results change in other medications other co-morbid conditions
Thrombophilia definition
The predisposition/propensity to develop thrombosis due to abnormalities in the haemostasis system, which can be either genetical or acquired or both.
Whom?
Thrombophila
Inherited Acquired Combined
When should we suspect inherited thrombophilia? Deep vein thrombosis in early ages (<55 v) Familiar occurence
Recurrent thrombosis Thrombosis atypical localisation (not on the lower extremities/limbs)
Inherited thrombophilias
Deficiencies of the inhibitory system
Antithrombin deficiencies

LA diagnostic tests
1. Phospholipid dependent tests increase: APTT, APTT-LA, rarely PT 2. The prolongation is increased by the presence of inhibitors: mixing studies 3. The inhibitor targets phospholipids: hPT, hexagonal PL tests, PNP
