von Willebrand disease
https://t.me/med1917
Bruising
Prolonged bleeding
Mucosal bleeding – epistaxis, menorrhagia
Chapter 5: Haematology 75
von Willebrand factor:
facilitates platelet adhesion
carrier protein for factor VIII
preventing its degradation
Mild APTT, normal platelets & INR
For any acute bleeds: elevation, compression & tranexamic acid
Mild (10–50%): PO/IV tranexamic acid ± SC or nasal desmopressin (DDAVP)
Moderate/severe: recombinant vWF
Most common inherited bleeding disorder
Thrombophilias
1. Inherited:
Factor V Leiden and prothrombin mutations (most common
in north Europe)
Protein C/S deficiency
2. Acquired:
Antiphospholipid syndrome
FBC & clotting
Protein C & S levels, homocysteine
Antiphospholipid Abs (lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin, B2-glycoprotein
antibodies)
± Factor V Leiden and prothrombin mutations
Consider thrombophilia screen if:
Arterial thrombosis <50y
Venous thrombosis <40y & no RFs
Recurrent, unexplained V TE
Familial VTE
Recurrent miscarriage
Unusual site of thrombosis
e.g. mesenteric veins

Performing clotting studies:
Blue-topped bottle
(2nd in draw order after blood cultures)
in both PT & APTT = a) common path problem (CF II, V, X) OR b) global CF deficiency (e.g. vit K antagonism
affecting CF II, VII, IX, X)
History & examination
Symptoms: bleeding/bruising/menorrhagia; where, how much, associated Sx
PMHx/FHx: bleeding/clotting disorders, liver dysfunction, autoimmune
DHx: anticoagulants, NSAIDs, ABX
SHx: alcohol, smoking
Ask if ever happened before e.g. with operations / dental work
Coagulation testing
INTRINSIC PATHWAY
1. FBC & blood film: plt
number & morphology
2. Other: vWF assays, plt
func. (not routine)
1. Clotting screen
PT = extrinsic pathway
(CF 7 & 10)
APTT = intrinsic
pathway (CF 8-12)
Thrombin time = time
for fibrinogen to make fibrin
2. Mixing studies: patient
plasma + FFP
Full correction indicates CF deficiency
No correction indicates CF inhibition (i.e. antibody against CF)
3. Fibrinogen and fibrinogen degradation products / d-dimers
4. CF assays: measure individual CF levels (depending on mixing
studies / othertests)

Types of anticoagulant
Heparins: act on CFs II & X – cause prolonged APTT → reverse with protamine sulphate
Warfarin: vitamin K antagonist affects CFs II, VII, IX, X to cause prolonged APTT & PT
DOACs: reversible inhibitors of CF Xa → NB: they have poor correlation with APTT & PT
Blood groups
https://t.me/med1917
Blood group determined by antigens on RBCs encoded by A, B & O genes
on chromosome 9
From 3 months old we produce natural IgM antibodies against the A or B
antigens that we don’t have
Receiving ABO incompatible blood can cause massive transfusion reaction
& death
Group UK prevalence Antigens Antibodies
O 47% None
A & B
A 42% A B
B 8% B A
AB 3% A & B None
Rhesus antigen
Chapter 5: Haematology 77
Universal donor blood is O Rh −ve
Alleles / inheritance of blood group: O = OO recessive A = AA, AO co-dominant B = BB, BO co-dominant AB = AB co-dominant
Encoded by 2 genes (D gene & CcEe gene)
1 unit blood increases Hb by 10g/L
(repeat Hb measurement 30min
Rh −ve individuals will produce IgG antibodies (anti-D) if exposed to d-antigen
post-transfusion)
Transfuse 1U over 2h if non-urgent
Blood products
Product Indication
RBC Acute anaemia <70g/dL*, blood loss (haemorrhage), bone marrow failure, SCD/thalassaemia
Platelets
FFP Clotting defects (e.g. DIC, liver disease, TTP), major haemorrhage
Cryoprecipitate Fibrinogen / factor VIII replacement (e.g. haemophilia, vWD, DIC with bleeding)
Human albumin solution Protein replacement (e.g. ascitic tap)
Alternatives to blood transfusion:
Cell savers (recycle & clean patient’s own blood during operations)
Iron infusion (if iron-deficient) or B12/folate replacement (if folate-deficient)
EPO
Process of blood transfusion
Bleeding or Plt count <10 × 109 due to DIC with bleeding or chemotherapy must not give if ITP or TTP
8
Do not transfuse patients with very low B12 or folate
CAREFULLY LABEL samples for cross-match to ensure no mistakes
Explain risks and benefits to patient & document their verbal consent
give patient info leaflet
Assess & document TACO risk in patient
Complete prescription including special requests**
Go through pre-collection checklist incl. any previous transfusion reactions
Prep patient: record obs & insert wide-bore cannula

Patient ID & consent
Component prescription – correct type, compatibility, correct rate,
signed by doctor
Expiry date & appearance of unit – any discolouration/damage
Document date & time of start complete & stick pink sticker on prescription
chart & return blue sticker to blood bank
(temp., pulse, RR, BP)
Massive blood transfusion
Indications: trauma, ruptured AAA, GI bleed, cardiac surgery etc. Complications: dilution of platelets & clotting factors triad: acidosis,
Major transfusion protocol: triggered if SBP <80mm/Hg combine RBCs with
FFP & cryoprecipitate
Temp ≥39°C or ≥2 from baseline = stop
transfusion & senior r/v
Complications of blood transfusion
Pathogenesis: mismatched ABO group = complement activation & intravascular haemolysis
Symptoms: temp, BP, HR, abdo/chest pain, anxiety Complications: shock, renal failure, DIC & death Management: stop transfusion ABCDE, saline, check identity of unit
*** Tell blood bank, repeat G&S sample, do haemolysis and coag screen, and send this with blood unit to blood bank ***
Symptoms: shivering & fever 1.5h post-transfusion Management: slow/stop transfusion + antipyretic
Mild allergy: urticaria, itch
Severe anaphylaxis: bronchospasm, wheeze/stridor, cyanosis
*** Tell blood bank and check IgA (may be IgA-deficient and so have made antibodies to IgA = 1 in 700) ***
More common with platelet transfusion
Symptoms: rigors, fever, hypotension shock Management: stop transfusion & start Sepsis 6
*** Tell blood bank & culture the blood unit ***
Medicine
Pathogenesis: due to Abs in donor plasma vs. host neutrophils, FFP or platelets
(FFP & platelets contain more antibodies so greater risk of reaction)
Symptoms: SOB, cough, hypoxia, white-out on CXR (2–6h post-transfusion) Management: stop transfusion, ABCDE, 100% O
*** Tell blood bank and screen the donor unit for antibodies they may have donated other units ***

Symptoms: within 6h post-transfusion
Dyspnoea, hypoxia
Tachycardia, hypertension
Basal crepitations (pulm. oedema)
Pathogenesis:
Only seen in immunosuppressed, as normal immune systems kill lymphocytes transfused in units of blood
In TA-GVHD, lymphocytes from the transfused blood attack the recipient’s skin, bone marrow, and gut
Symptoms: rash, fever, diarrhoea, BM failure 1–3w post-transfusion
Pathogenesis:
Slower antibody response to a foreign antigen on transfused blood than with ABO mismatch
Causes extravascular haemolysis, and progressive anaemia
Symptoms: fever, haemolysis (jaundice), dark urine & falling Hb Tests:
1. Haemolysis screen: LDH, unconjugated bilirubin, haptoglobin
2. Direct Coombs test: positive
3. Antibody identification – to ensure patient doesn’t receive a unit expressing
that antigen again
Treatment: symptomatic Tx (paracetamol) + avoid future transfusions containing the implicated RBC antigen
Management:
Slow/stop transfusion
O2 – may need ventilation
Consider exchange transfusion
Risk factors for TACO:
>70y
Low weight / child
Cardiac failure
rare
Cannot give blood again if have received a blood transfusion
Renal impairment / low albumin
Pathogenesis:
Host produces antibodies against donor platelets which destroy both the transfused platelets & patient’s own platelets
Results in severe, persistent thrombocytopenia
Symptoms: thrombocytopenia purpura, bleeding Treatment: IV immunoglobulins ± steroids

insect stings
Denitions
hypotension, HR, oedema, wheeze/stridor
e.g. radioactive dyes
due to direct mast cell damage
Classifying allergic disorders
Type 1 IgE crosslinking via allergen triggers mast cell degranulation Asthma, food allergies
Type 2 IgG binds cell-surface antigen (ADCC) triggering complement reaction & cell lysis MG, Goodpasture’s
Type 3
Type 4
IgG binds free antigen immune complexes deposit in tissues
Cell-mediated – T cells activate macrophages inflammatory mediators & B cell activation (delayed reaction)
SLE, HSP
Contact dermatitis
Investigations
Symptoms of allergies:
Rash
Pruritus
Swelling/angioedema
Sneezing/rhinorrhoea
Dyspnoea, wheeze, tachypnoea
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea
Long-term management of allergies:
1. Avoid allergen
2. Prescribe 2x EpiPens
3. EpiPen training & education
4. Medi-Bracelet / alert device
5. Antihistamines if appropriate
6. Good asthma control if have it
1. Detailed history (most important)
Symptoms – timing, type, previous experience
Potential allergen identification – what? when? how much eaten?
DHx, PMHx, FHx – other atopies
2. Skin prick test: prick with antigen of allergen/s & measure size of rash
Positive control: histamine – may be negative if on antihistamines
Negative control: saline – only have reaction if dermographism
(skin reaction to trauma not allergy)
3. IgE testing: if skin prick not conclusive
Total IgE: not specific to allergen
Specific IgE
4. Challenge tests: last resort / to prove negative ONLY UNDER CLOSE
