Practice questions on Deep Venous Thrombosis
A 33-year-old woman has had multiple episodes of deep venous thrombosis over the past year. Last week she had a transient ischemic attack. On examination there are no abnormal findings. Laboratory studies show a prolonged prothrombin and partial thromboplastin time. When her plasma is mixed in a ratio of 1:1 with normal plasma, neither the PT nor the PTT normalize. Which of the following condition
- Antiphospholipid syndrome
- Hemophilia A
- Von Willebrand disease
- Factor XI deficiency
Answer: A. Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies, which can lead to recurrent arterial and venous thrombosis, and pregnancy morbidity. The prolonged PT and PTT that do not correct upon mixing with normal plasma is a characteristic finding in some patients with APS due to the presence of lupus anticoagulants, which interfere with the clotting assays
