まとめ
予期より軽度の凝固因子欠乏症は,偶発的にプロトロンビン時間 (PT) または活性化部分性血栓形成時間 (aPTT) が延長された子供においてより一般的です. これらの軽度な欠乏症は往々にして出血歴なしであり,その臨床的意義は不明である.
科学分野:
- 小児血液学
- ヘモスタシスと血栓形成
- 臨床凝固
背景:
- 詳細な anamnesis と身体検査は通常,ほとんどの出血障害を特定します.
- この研究では,偶発的にプロトロンビン時間 (PT) または活性化部分性血栓形成時間 (aPTT) が延長された小児患者の血静障害を調査した.
研究 の 目的:
- 偶発的なPT/aPTT延長を有する小児患者の血静性障害の発生率と種類を特定する.
- この集団における軽度の因子欠乏症の臨床的意義を評価する.
主な方法:
- 前例の血液疾患のない,偶発的な長時間のPTおよび/ またはaPTTを有する小児患者が登録されました.
- 凝固因子活動が分析された. アンチフォスフォリピド抗体とルプス抗凝固剤の検査は,異常な混合試験を有する患者に実施された.
主要な成果:
- 103人の患者のうち,50人が再検査時に持続的なPT/ aPTT異常を示した.
- コアグロパチは,コホート全体の30% (持続的な異常を有する患者の60%) で確認された.
- 最も頻繁な欠乏症は,因子XII (5. 8%),因子XI (4. 8%) および因子VII (2. 9%) であった.
結論:
- 軽度の凝固因子欠乏症は,偶発的なPT/aPTT延長を持つ子供では予想以上に一般的です.
- これらの軽度の欠乏症は,出血歴のない患者でも発生します.
- これらの軽度の因子欠乏症の臨床的意義と影響はしばしば不明である.

Disorders of Hemostasis
1.2K
Hemostasis, the process that stops bleeding after a blood vessel injury, is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the circulatory system. However, disorders of hemostasis can disrupt this delicate balance, leading to either excessive clotting or bleeding. These disorders can be broadly classified into thromboembolic disorders and bleeding disorders.
Thromboembolic Disorders
Two factors primarily cause thromboembolic conditions.

Coagulation
7.4K
The coagulation phase is a critical part of the body's process to prevent blood loss following injury to blood vessels. It involves chemical reactions that form a clot to seal the injured area. The clotting process begins shortly after injury, within 15-20 seconds for severe damage and 1-2 minutes for minor injuries.
During the coagulation phase, clotting factors, or procoagulants, play a vital role in initiating and progressing the coagulation cascade. This cascade is a series of reactions...

Anticoagulant Drugs: Low-Molecular-Weight Heparins

Hemostasis is a crucial process that prevents excessive blood loss from damaged blood vessels. It involves various mechanisms such as vasoconstriction, platelet adhesion and activation, and fibrin formation. The importance of each mechanism depends on the type of vessel injury. In contrast, thrombosis is the abnormal formation of a blood clot within the blood vessels, leading to potential complications if the clot obstructs blood flow. Thrombosis can be caused by increased coagulability of the...

Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
9.2K
Blood clotting or coagulation involves extrinsic and intrinsic pathways, which ultimately merge into the common pathway, forming a fibrin clot.
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which...

Introduction to Hemostasis
8.9K
Hemostasis is a complex physiological process that prevents excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. It's crucial for maintaining the integrity of the circulatory system, as it ensures that our blood remains fluid while still within the vascular network and yet clots to prevent blood loss upon vessel injury.
The three phases of hemostasis involve many clotting factors present in plasma and several substances released by platelets and injured tissue cells. It is a fast, localized,...

Anticoagulant Drugs: Vitamin K Antagonists and Direct Oral Anticoagulants

Oral anticoagulants are vital tools in preventing and treating blood clotting disorders. This diverse class of medications can be categorized as vitamin K antagonists, exemplified by warfarin, and direct thrombin inhibitors (DTIs), such as dabigatran, as well as factor Xa inhibitors, including rivaroxaban.
Warfarin, a prominent vitamin K antagonist family member, exerts its effect by inhibiting the enzyme VKORC1 (vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1). By hindering this enzyme, warfarin...
