Platelet Disorders / Robbins pathology : Hemostasis, Disorders of primary and secondary hemostasis 🩸
Hemostasis is a physiological mechanism ensuring vascular integrity through primary hemostasis (platelet plug formation via adhesion and aggregation) and secondary hemostasis (clot stabilization via the coagulation cascade converting fibrinogen to fibrin). Disorders of hemostasis are classified by defects in quantitative/qualitative platelets affecting bleeding time, or deficiencies in clotting factors/intrinsic-extrinsic pathways prolonging prothrombin time and/or partial thromboplastin time. The domain is clinical pathology, specifically the study of disorders affecting primary and secondary hemostatic mechanisms as defined in Robbins Pathology.
