Bleeding disorders Dr. Edmond S. K. Ma Division of Haematology Department of Pathology The University of Hong Kong Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Components of normal haemostasis • Blood vessels • Endothelial cells • Sub-endothelial surface • Platelets: primary haemostasis • Platelet membrane • Platelet granules • Coagulation factors • Fibrinolytic pathway • Naturally occurring inhibitors of coagulation Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
The endothelial cell Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Haemostatic response to vessel injury Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Conventional model of coagulation Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
New model of coagulation Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
The fibrinolytic pathway Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Naturally occurring inhibitors: e.g. Protein C pathway Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Coagulation tests • Prothrombin time • Activate partial thromboplastin time • Thrombin time • Fibrinogen level • Tests for platelet disorders • Platelet count • Platelet aggregation test • Skin bleeding time Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Conventional model of coagulation Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Prothrombin time • Tests the extrinsic and final common pathways • Prolongation in: • Liver disease • vitamin K antagonism (i.e. warfarin) and deficiency • Disseminated intravascular coagulation • Factor VII, X, V, II and fibrinogen defect Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Activated partial thromboplastin time • Tests the intrinsic and common pathways • Prolongation in: • Liver disease • Disseminated intravascular coagulation • Heparin therapy • Vitamin K antagonism or deficiency • Factor XII, XI, IX, VIII, X, V, II, and fibrinogen defect Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Thrombin time • Evaluate fibrinogen and for inhibition of thrombin action • Prolongation in: • Hypofibrinogenaemia • Dysfibrinogenaemia (http://www.fmshk.com.hk/hkabth) • Heparin therapy • Disseminated intravascular coagulation Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Platelet aggregometry: testing for platelet dysfunction Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Clinical features of bleeding disorders • History • Personal (age of onset) • Family • Pattern of bleeding • Platelet / vessel type • Coagulation type • Drugs • Associated systemic illnesses Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Platelet Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Platelet disorders • Bleeding due to low platelet count • Bleeding due to platelet dysfunction Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Bruises Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Petechiae Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Causes of Thrombocytopenia (N.B. analogous to anaemia) • Production failure • Isolated thrombocytopenia • Pancytopenia • Increased peripheral destruction • immune • non-immune • Splenic pooling (sequestration) • Hypersplenism • Dilutional • Massive blood transfusion Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Peripheral destruction: immune thrombocytopenia • Autoimmue • ITP • acute • chronic • Alloimmune • Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia • Post-transfusion purpura Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Peripheral destruction: microangiopathic syndromes Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Inherited platelet disorders • Glycoprotein defect • GP IIb/IIIa: Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia • GP Ib/IX/V complex: Bernard-Soulier syndrome • Granule defect • Storage pool disease • Grey platelet syndrome • Hereditary thrombocytopenia • Bernard-Soulier syndrome • Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (small platelets, eczema, immunodeficiency) • May-Hegglin anomaly Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Bernard-Soulier Syndrome Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
May-Hegglin Anomaly Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Low platelet count Bone marrow examination Platelet antibodies Screening tests for DIC Normal platelet count Bleeding time Platelet aggregation study Special platelet function tests (e.g. nucleotide pool assay) von Willebrand disease study Approach to platelet disorders Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Haemophilia • Insufficient activity of the tenase complex Factor VIII deficiency Haemophilia A Factor IX deficiency Haemophilia B Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Haemophilia A Factor VIII deficiency Haemophilia B Factor IX deficiency Clinical presentation: haemarthrosis Coagulation screening test: isolated prolongation of APTT Diagnostic test: Factor assay Haemophilia Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Haemophilia: clinical problems • Recurrent joint bleeds Progressive joint deformity • Factor inhibitors • Viral agents transmitted by blood products • Diagnosis of carrier status in females • family history • phenotype • mutation detection Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Haemarthrosis Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Haemophilia A showing severe disability Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Genomic organization of the human FVIII gene Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Intron 22 inversion of the FVIII gene Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Intron 22 inversion of FVIII • Seen in 40 - 50% of severe haemophilia A • Error of DNA replication during spermatogenesis • In males, absence of a second X favours intrachromosomal alignment • Maternal grandfather • Distal inversion more common Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Platelet adhesion Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Von Willebrand Disease • Defect of Von Willebrand Factor • quantitative • qualitative • Autosomal dominant • Normal function of VWF • Mediate platelet adhesion • Stabilize factor VIII in circulation • Localize factor VIII to site of vessel injury Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Von Willebrand Disease • Pattern of bleeding • Usually platelet type • Coagulation type if severe • Diagnostic tests • Factor VIII activity • VWF antigen assay • VWF function, e.g. ristocetin cofactor assay Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Multimer analysis in vWD Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
Comparison between haemophilia and vWD Bachelor of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong Kong
