Haemostasis • Definition;
Comprises a series of regulated processes
that maintain blood in a fluid, clot free
state in normal vessels while rapidly
forming a localized haemostatic plug at
site of vascular injury.
Counterpart of this process is thrombosis
which involves formation of blood clots
(thrombus) within intact vessels.

• Normal haemostasis and its regulation:
Steps involved
I. Arteriolar vasoconstriction; following
vascular injury augmented local
secretion of endothelin (endothelium
derived vasoconstrictor).
II. Primary haemostasis; formation of
initial platelet plug . Brought by
platelet adherence, activation and
aggregation to the extracellular matrix.
III. Activation of thrombin; endothelial
injury exposes tissue factor iii (
thromboplastin) which act in
conjugation with factor vi triggering
coagulation cascades and activation of
thrombin 3
Friday, February 16, 2018
iv. Secondary haemostasis; activated
thrombin promotes formation of
insoluble fibrin clot by cleaving fibrinogen.
Thrombin also is a potent activator of
additional platelets which serve to
reinforce the haemostatic plug.
v. As bleeding is controlled counter
regulatory mechanisms ( e.g. factors
that produce fibrinolysis such as tissue
type plasminogen activator ) are set
into motion to insure that clot
formation is limited to the site of injury

ENDOTHELIUM Refers to the cells that line the interior
surfaces of blood vessels and lymphatic
vessels forming an interface between
circulating blood or lymph in the lumen
and the rest of vessel walls, it’s the thin
layer of simple squamous cells called
endothelial cells.
It acts as central regulator of hemostasis,
when the endothelial cells are in normal
state they express anti-coagulant factors
that inhibit platelet aggregation,
coagulation and promotes fibrinolysis.

Antithrombotic Inhibitory Effects on Platelets. Intact
endothelium prevents
Properties of platelets (and plasma coagulation
Normal factors) fromengaging the highly
thrombogenic subendothelial ECM.
Endothelium Nonactivated platelets do not adhere to
normal endothelium;even with activated
platelets, prostacyclin (i.e.,
prostaglandin I2 [PGI2]) and nitric oxide
produced by endothelium impede their
adhesion. Both mediators also are potent
vasodilators and inhibitors of platelet
aggregation;
their synthesis by endothelial cells is
stimulated by a number of factors
6

factors such as thrombin and cytokines produced during coagulation.
Endothelial cells also produce adenosine
Diphosphatase(ATPase), which degrades adenosine diphosphate(ATP) and
further inhibits platelet aggregation.

thrombomodulin, and
tissue factor pathway inhibitor. The
heparin-like
molecules act indirectly; They are
cofactors that greatly
enhance the inactivation of thrombin (and
other coagulation factors) by the plasma
protein antithrombin III. Thrombomodulin
also acts indirectly; It binds to thrombin,
thereby modifying the substrate specificity
of thrombin. 8

Prothrombotic Activation of Platelets. Endothelial injury brings
platelets
endothelium
extracellular matrix. Von Willebrand Factor(vWF)
is held
fast to the ECM through interactions with collagen
and also
binds tightly to Gp1b, a glycoprotein found on the
surface
of platelets. These interactions allow vWF to act as
a sort
of molecular glue that binds platelets tightly to
denuded
vessel walls. 9

necrosis factor [TNF] or interleukin-1 [IL-
of Clotting 1]) or

THE ROLE • Platelets are anucleated cell
12
Friday, February 16, 2018
• Their function depends on several
components such as integrin family of
glycoprotein receptorss, a contractory
cytosketon and two types of
cytoplasmic granules which are alpha
granules and dense bodies.
13
Friday, February 16, 2018
• After vascular injury, platelets
encounter extracellular components
and initiate the following events.
14
Friday, February 16, 2018
i. Platelet adhesion
ii. Platelet activation
iii. Platelet aggregation
15
Friday, February 16, 2018
Platelet • Platelet adhesion initiates clot
formation and depends on von
adhesion willebrand factor and platelet
glycoprotein Gp1b
• The vWF undergoes confirmational
change allowing it to bind
simulteneously to collagen in ECM
and Gp1b on platelets.
• The adhesion of the two is very
important in clotting
16
Friday, February 16, 2018
Platelet • Refers to an irreversible shape change of
the platelets and release reaction of both
activation granules.
• The change in shape enhances subsquent
aggregation and increase surface area
available for interaction with coagulation
factors.
• The dense bodies releases calcium and
ADP which are important in susquent
reactions.
• The alpha granules releases fibrinogen,
fibronectin and other coagulating factors.
• Activated platelets also synthesize
thromboxane A2 which activates
additional nearby platelets and plays a
role in platelet aggregation 17
Friday, February 16, 2018
Platelet • This follows platelet adhesion and
activation and is stimulated by some of
aggregation the same factors that induced platelet
activation such as thromboxane.
• It is promoted by the bridging
interaction between fibrinogen and
GpIIb/IIIa receptor on adjacent platelets.
• The inherited deficiency of GpIIb/IIIa
results in bleeding disorder and inability
of plateletes to aggregate a condition
known as glanzmann thrombasthenia

• By dfn; Coagulation cascade is a series
of amplifying enzymatic reactions.At
each step in the process a proenzyme is
proteolysed(activated) to become an
active enzyme which inturn proteolyze
next proenzyme in the series eventually
leading to activation of thrombin.
• Thrombin is responsible for
proteolyzing fibrinogen into fibrin
20
Friday, February 16, 2018
• Blood coagulation is traditionally
categorized into twopathways;
• 1.extrinsic pathway and
• 2.intrinsic pathway

PATHWAY • The thrombin-mediated cleavage of
CONT……. fibrinogen results in a fibrin monomer,
which is polymerized and stabilized by
factor VIIa, thus forming the fibrin clot.

• Concurrent activation of the
coagulation cascade generates
thrombin, which stabilizes the
platelet plug through two
mechanisms.
28
Friday, February 16, 2018
i. Thrombin activates platelet surface
receptor(Protease Activated
Receptor [PAR]) which in concert
with ADP and thromboxane further
increases platelet aggregation, then
platelet contraction follows creating
the secondary hemostatic plug.
ii. Thrombin converts fibrinogen to
fibrin within the vicinity of the plug,
cementing the plug in place.

THROMBOSIS 32
Friday, February
16, 2018
Thrombosis
Is the process of formation of solid mass in
circulation from the constituents of flowing blood.
The solid mass is called a thrombus.
This is different from blood clot,
Blood clot
Is the mass of coagulated blood formed in vitro e.g. in
a test tube.
Haemostatic plugs
Are the blood clots formed in healthy individuals at the site of
bleeding e.g. in injury to the blood vessel. Haemostatic plugs
are
useful as they stop the escape of blood and plasma, whereas
thrombi developing in the unruptured cardiovascular system
may
be life-threatening by causing one of the following harmful
effects;
34
Friday, February 16, 2018
Ischaemic injury.
Thrombi may decrease or stop the blood
supply to part of an organ or tissue and cause
ischaemia which may subsequently result in
infarction.
Thromboembolism
The thrombus or its part may get
dislodged and be carried along in the bloodstream
as embolus
to lodge in a distant vessel.

the left ventricle of the heart and is a
common
complication of acute myocardial
infarction.the
clot is a mural thrombus meaning it is on

Arterial -Arterial thrombi are formed in the rapid
flowing
and venous blood and venous thrombi are formed in
thrombi slowly
moving blood
Arterial thrombus is dangerous as it can
block
Blood flow in major organs such as the
heart
and brain.

a. LEIDEN MUTATION.
Refers to mutation of Factor V
Gene,cause alteration in amino acids
residue in it hence resistant to protein C.
(Anti-coagulant molecule)
In Laiden Mutation Glutamine
substitutes Arginine.
B. Inherited deficiencies of Anti-thrombin
III,Protein C which are anticoagulants.
This condition make the
thrombogenic activity to rise.
49
Friday, February 16, 2018
This occur due to increased hepatic
synthesis of coagulation factors and
reduced synthesis of anti-thrombin III.
The following are the major causes of
secondary hypercoagulability.
Heparin inducedThrombocytopenia.
Patient treated with unfractionated
heparin(Therapeutic anticoagulant).
50
Friday, February 16, 2018
Marked by development of
autoantibodies that bind complexes of
heparin and platelet membrane(platelet
Factor 4)
Result in platelet activation,aggregation
and consumption.(Hence cause
thrombocytopenia)
Finally,lead into exacerbation of
prothrombotic state
51
Friday, February 16, 2018
Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.
Associated with autoantibodies directed
against anionic phospholipids(i.e,
Cardiolipin).
Thus plasma protein antigens that bind
to such phospholipids are not efficiently
carried.Example impaired carriage of
prothrombin.
Finally,there will occur hypercoagulability
due to induced endothelial injury.

Predisposing • A number of primary (genetic) and
secondary (acquired) factors favour
factors for thrombosis.
i) Deficiency of antithrombin
ii) Deficiency of protein C or S
iii) Defects in fibrinolysis
iv) Mutation in factor V
55
Friday, February 16, 2018
• Secondary (acquired) factors:
i) Advanced age
ii) Prolonged bed-rest or immobilisation
iii) Cigarette smoking and obesity
iv) oral contraceptive use and
hyperestrogenic state of pregnancy.
v) cancer
vi) Vascular diseases

Morphological features of thrombosis
Thrombi can occur everywhere on the
cardiovascular system. It can be arterial
thrombi or venous thrombi.
57
Friday, February 16, 2018
Venous thrombi usually occur at the site
of stasis. Its growth is by extension
towards the blood flow.
Grossly they appear red and
occlusive.
58
Friday, February 16, 2018
Thrombi can have grossly (and
microscopically) apparent
laminations called lines of Zahn,
these represent pale platelets and
fibrin layers alternating with darker
red cells rich layer.
59
Friday, February 16, 2018
• Postmortem clots can sometimes be
mistaken for venous thrombi. However,
the former are gelatinous and due to
red cell settling have a dark red
dependent portion and a yellow
“chicken fat” upper portion; they also
are usually not attached to the
underlying vessel wall. By contrast, red
thrombi typically are firm, focally
attached to vessel walls, and contain
gray strands of deposited fibrin

FATE OF • 1.Propagation: Thrombus my accumulate
more platelets and fibrin , eventually
THROMBUS leading to vessel obstruction.
