Question
Answer
red thrombus   venous thrombosis --> usually due to blood stasis; has low platelet and high fibrin content  
🗑
white thrombus   arterial thrombosis --> associated w/atherosclerosis; high platelet and low fibrin content  
🗑
substance located in the subendothelial matrix that activates platelets when blood comes into contact with it in instances of vascular injury   collagen  
🗑
extrinsic pathway requires what   tissue factor (something outside of blood)  
🗑
common pathway b/w extrinsic and intrinsic pathways   Xa splits prothrombin into thrombin (factor V, PL, Ca present)  
🗑
prothrombin time (PT)   time required for plasma to clot when exogenous tissue factor is added  
🗑
fibrin digesting enzyme responsible for thrombolysis   plasmin (activated by t-PA from plasminogen)  
🗑
converts fibrinogen to fibrin   thrombin  
🗑
helps solidify platelet plugs to patch up small holes, insoluble   fibrin  
🗑
vitamin K dependent factors (4)   II, VII, IX, X (2, 7, 9, 10) - synthesized in the liver; required for clotting cascades  
🗑
white thrombus generally responsible for   for acute MI, stroke, etc; LDL usually involved  
🗑
red thrombus generally responsible for   Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism  
🗑
three potential causes for red thrombus   vessel wall damage (hip/knee surgery), stasis, hypercoagulability  
🗑
are antiplatelet drugs more effect for white thrombus or red thrombus related disorders   white thrombus (atherosclerotosis related) disorders more responsive to antiplatelet drugs (aspirin)  
🗑
heparin   injectible anticoagulant; 5-50 kDa; accelerates antithrombin III (ATIII); inhibits thrombin (IIa) and Xa; requires PT monitoring - good for immediate relief  
🗑
LMWH   low-molecular weight heparins; 1-10 kDa; accelerates ATIII; inhibits Xa, but NOT thrombin; more predictable than heparin; doesn't require PT monitoring - good for home use  
🗑
critical length for binding pocket in antithrombin III (ATIII)   5 units (highly acidic) - pentasaccharides  
🗑
Fondaparinux   heparin derivative for prevention/treatment of VTE; once daily, predictable; doesn't bind platelets (no heparin-induced thrombocytopenia)  
🗑
direct thrombin inhibitors - parenteral(3)   Hirudin – irreversible binds to thrombin; Bivalirudin – analog of hirudin; Argatroban – non-covalent reversible binding  
🗑
direct thrombin inhibitors - oral (1)   Ximelagatran - non-covalent reversible binding, first oral form.  
🗑
only FDA approved oral anticoagulant in US   warfarin - vitamin K antagonist  
🗑
warfarin MOA   interferes w/synthesis of factors II, VII, IX, X, but their half-life is 8 - 60 hours so requires bridge therapy; target INR 2 - 3; initial PT changes due to depletion of factor 7, but takes a few weeks to turn over factor 10  
🗑
