Coagulation : Case based approach 2nd Basic hematopathology course, TMH, Mumbai Saturday, 11th June 2011 Dr. M.B. Agarwal, MD, MNAMS Head, Dept of Haematology, Bombay Hospital Inst of Med Sc, Mumbai
Jigar, 15-year old boy from Vadodara with post-traumatic nasal & oral bleeding : 2 hours • No family h/o bleeding disorder
What does this mean ? (46 + 28 = 74 ÷ 2 = 37)
Inhibitors Factor specific Lupus type
Inhibitors Factor specific Lupus type • KCT • dRVVT • L1 / L2 > 1.3 • Factor assay
Intrinsic pathway defect • Factor VIII deficiency including von Willebrand Disease • Factor IX deficiency • Factor XI deficiency (rare) • Factor XII deficiency (non-bleeder)
Coming back to Jigar • Bleeding from nose • Raised PTT • Good correction on mixing studies • Low factor VIII : C
vWD type 2 : sub classification *vWF : Ag > vWF : Rco, **AR
vWD : Laboratory tests • CBC, platelet count, PT : Normal • PTT : often normal • Factor VIII (coagulometer) • vWF : RCoF (aggregometry) • vWF : CB (ELISA) • vWF : Ag (ELISA) • RIPA : Aggregometry • vWF : Multimer analysis (gel electrophoresis)
Variations in vWF levels () • Exercise and stress (adrenaline) • Infection and inflammation • Liver disease • Pregnancy • Estrogen and progesterone therapy • Hyperthyroidism
Genetic variations in vWF levels • Blood group O has lowest level • Black race has higher level • Black with non A may have double the level of a Caucasian with group O • Degree of proteolysis varies • ADAMTS-13 activity varies
Platelet-type vWD • It is not vWD • A genetic platelet disorder (AD) • A gain-of-function mutation • affinity of platelet GP1b for vWF • RIPA • Thrombocytopenia • Phenotype : similar to type 2B • Treatment : platelet transfusion and not vWF
Acquired vWD • Not an uncommon disease • Pts with autoimmune disorders, hypothyroidism, lymphoma, WM • Antibodies are present only in a minority • Excessive proteolysis or consumption (AS)
Associations • Angiodysplastic lesions in gut • Atherosclerosis (pigs) • Diagnosis may be totally missed during pregnancy and early puerperium • Factor VIII level may vary within the family • Role of PFA-100
Case study • Mr. Raj, 69y from Rajkot • SC hematomas & easy bruising : 2 mths • Platelet count : 3,32,000/cmm • PT : 43/12 secs, INR 3.7 • PTT : 56/30 secs
First, we must exclude difficult collection (partially clotted blood)
We must also excludeeffect of high haematocrit (polycythemia)
Common pathway defect • Vitamin K deficiency • Chronic liver disease • Consumptive coagulopathy • Anticoagulant therapy
Liver function : normal • DIC profile : normal
Factor I : 290 mg/dl Factor II : 87% Factor V : 78% Factor X : 1.2%
What is the aetiology of selective factor X deficiency at the age of 69 years ?
Raj : Amyloidosis • Macroglossia • S. Protein electrophoresis : Faint M band present • S. Immunofixation : Lambda monoclonal gammopathy • Bone marrow : Plasma cells : 2-3% • Bone marrow biopsy : Amyloidosis • Abdominal fat pad biopsy : Amyloidosis
