Acquired coagulopathies
Acquired defects of factors II, V, VII, IX and X.[edit | edit source]
__ Získané defekty faktorů II, V, VII, IX a X Acquired defects of factors II, V, VII, IX and X arise in advanced liver diseases, vitamin K deficiency / inhibition.
• Vitamin K absorption disorder: obstructive jaundice, malabsorption syndrome (pancreatic / intestinal origin),
• coumarin preparations act as vitamin K inhibitors (warfarin, see fig.),
• in liver diseases, the production of f. II, VII, IX, X, V gradually decreases; in progress. conditions complex hemostasis disorder + thrombocytopenia (in splenomegaly), increased fibrinolytic activity (portocaval anastomoses + ↓ liver detoxification ability),
• in liver diseases, bleeding conditions of various severity, endangerment of the capital. bleeding into the GIT.
Therapy[edit | edit source]
• Lack of vit. K / coumarin overdose → supplementation of vit. K (Kanavit),
• in liver diseases – substitution therapy.: K-plasma, prothrombin complex concentrates, fresh frozen plasma,
• antifibrinolytics + glucocorticoids.
Circulating anticoagulants[edit | edit source]
__ Cirkulující antikoagulancia
Circulating anticoagulants are agents with an anticoagulant effect; they appear in the blood under pathological circumstances.
• (Allo- / auto) antibodies against coagulation factor (mainly against VIII);
• antiphospholipid antibodies (eg. in SLE, antiphospholipid syndrome);
• fibrin / fibrinogen cleavage products during activated fibrinolysis;
• pathologically generated substances of heparin nature;
• paraprotein in monoclonal gammopathy;
