Key Points
Co-factors
HMWKininogen
Factor 8
Factor 5
Fibrinogen
Protein S
Fibrin:
Fibrinogen has central E domain and D terminals
thrombin cleaves fibrinopeptides A and B in the E
domain soluble fibrin monomer these assemble
with end to end and side to side association to form a
non-covalent fibrin polymer activated Factor 13
crosslinks them into an insoluble fibrin clot
Secondary
Delayed
Deep tissues
Factor deficiency
Liver disease
Acquired inhibitors
Activated Protein C:
1. Decreases thrombin formation =
inactivates factors 5a and 8a
2. Stimulates fibrinolysis = liberates tP
activator upon binding with ECPR which
activates PAR (protease activated receptor)
Protein S (co-factor)
o Free and bound (free form is the receptor)
Plasma serine protease inhibitor system

E.g.:
1. Inhibitor of factor 8: abn factor 11 assay
2. Deficient/abnormal fibrinogen: affect
results of all clotting tests
Abnormal aPTT alone
Combined:
1. Medical conditions: anticoagulation, DIC,
liver disease, vitamin K deficiency, massive
transfusion
2. Rare: dysfibrinogenemias, factors 10, 5, 2
defects
Rare bleeding disorders (not picked by tests of hemostasis)
Two phenotypes:
Hyperfibrinolytic state: prolonged PT and
1.
PTT; decreased fibrinogen and platelet
counts.
2.
Prothrombotic state: normal PT and PTT;
mildly decreased platelets, normal or
increased fibrinogen
Confirmatory: D-dimer
