HEMOSTASIS

Learning Objectives

• Understand normal hemostasis

• What are the 3 main components of hemostasis?

• Outline the formation (sequence) of primary and secondary hemostatic plugs

• What are the antithrombotic factors produced by endothelial cells?

• Describe the resolution of hemostatic plugs

HEMOSTASIS

• Refers to the arrest of bleeding Hemostasis

Hemostasis

• Well regulated process

• Keeps blood fluid (clot free) within the blood vessels

• Rapid clot formation (hemostatic plug) occurs with vessel injury

Clotting

• Hemostatic clot is normal in cases of vessel injury

• Thrombosis refers to an inappropriate activation of the hemostatic process

HEMOSTASIS

Three components of hemostasis

Vascular wall / Endothelium

Platelets

Coagulation Cascade

HEMOSTASIS

1

• Arteriolar vasoconstriction

• Endothelium

2

• Primary hemostasis

• Platelets

3

• Secondary hemostasis

• Coagulation cascade

4 • Antithrombotic counter-regulation

Sequence of events in normal hemostasis following vascular injury

HEMOSTASIS

1

• Arteriolar vasoconstriction

• Endothelium • Reflex neurogenic mechanism

• Transient

• Local secretion of endothelin from endothelial cells

HEMOSTASIS

2

• Primary hemostasis

• Platelets • Platelets respond to exposure of subendothelial ECM

• Result = Formation of a primary hemostatic plug

HEMOSTASIS

3

• Secondary hemostasis

• Coagulation cascade

• Coagulation results in formation of a secondary hemostatic plug

HEMOSTASIS

4 • Antithrombotic counter-regulation

• Factors are released to limit the size of the hemostatic plug

• Stimulates fibroblasts and angiogenesis

Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF)

• Modulates vascular (& fibrous) repair

Transforming Growth Factor β (TGF- β)

Also play a role in vascular repair – numerous growth factors are secreted by endothelial cells

• Derived from megakaryocytes; circulate as round, smooth discs

• Play central role in hemostasis

• Form the 1o hemostatic plug covers and seals a small damaged area

• Granules contain mostly pro-coagulants

Coagulation Cascade

Enzyme

Substrate

Activated coagulation

factor

• An enzymatic cascade • A reaction pathway that occurs on a platelet phospholipid complex and is held

together by calcium ions

Thrombin

Coverts fibrinogen to fibrin

HEMOSTASIS

Coagulation Cascade

Thrombin • Bound to the platelet surface • Converts soluble fibrinogen to fibrin → anchors/ stabilizes the hemostatic plug

HEMOSTASIS

• TF from injured vessel wall interacts with factor 7

• All factors present in plasma

• Exposure of collagen for activation

•Contraction of fibrin-platelet clot

•Reduces size of clot (restores flow)

•Draws damaged vessels edges closer (for healing)

• In general, large hemorrhages or hematomas suggest a coagulation disorder

• Coagulation disorders can by inherited or acquired

• Chronic bleeding from a mucosal surface is more indicative of a platelet deficiency or abnormality

HEMOSTASIS

For your information only Coagulation Disorders - Inherited

HEMOSTASIS

Coagulation Disorders - Acquired

• Vitamin K deficiency

• Affects factors 10, 9, 7 and 2 and proteins C and S

• Liver failure

• Site of synthesis of coagulation factors

Decreased Production of Coagulation Factors

• Disseminated intravascular coagulation

• Sepsis

• Severe trauma or deep burns

• Snake venoms and plant toxins

Increased Use of Coagulation Factors

• Fibrinolytic cascade limits the size and dissolves the thrombus • Primarily by the generation of plasmin (from plasminogen)

• Plasminogen activated by tPA and intrinsic coagulation (factor 12a-kallikrein) • FDPs have anticoagulant activity & used as measure of thrombotic states
