PTT…..HEPARIN……INTRINSIC SYSTEM…..All factors xcept 7 &13.



BLEEDING DISORDERS……A)……….
1.QUANTITATIVE

2.QUALITATIVE……CONGENITAL & ACQUIRED.

CONGENITAL…………1.Bernard—Souli er’s ds.----defect of platelet adhesion
2.Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia….defect of platelet aggregation.

B)……….
1. PLATELET ABNORMALITIES/MICROHEMORRHAGES:
Mucous membrane bleeding, petechiae, purpura, prolonged BT
CAUSES: ITP(antiplatelet abs, increased mega karyocytes)
TTP(Schistocytes)
Drugs
DIC(rise in FDPs)
2. COAGULATION ABNORMALITIES/MACROHEMORRHAGES
Hemarthroses, easy bruising,rise in PT and /or PTT
CAUSES: HemophiliaA(factor 8 deficiency)
Hemophilia B(factor 9 deficiency)
Von Willebrand’s ds.(VW ag. Deficiency)

BT PTT PT PC
1.Qualitative & vascular bleedings……. R --- -----
2.Quantitative thrombocytopenia R --- --- L
3.Hemophilia A --- R --- ---- 4.Hemophilia B -- R --- ---
5. Von willebrand’s ds…. R R --- ---
6. DIC R R R ---
7.LIVER DS. -- R R ---


BT....bleeding time; PT---prothrombin time; PTT---partial thromboplastin time;PC--platelet count; R---RAISED; L---LOW
