Anticoagulants and antiplatelets are used for the prevention and treatment of blood clots that occur in blood vessels. Oftentimes, anticoagulants and antiplatelets are referred to as “blood thinners,” but they don’t actually thin the blood at all. These drugs slow down the body’s process of making clots. Their main function is to keep the patient’s ...
Anticoagulants do NOT dissolve blood clots. They only help prevent new clots from occurring, or existing clots from enlarging, but they do not aid in dissolving the old clot. The body will dissolve the clot naturally if it can be dissolved.
Fibrin is a protein substance that is formed from fibrinogen, which is a soluble protein that in synthesized in the liver and found in the blood plasma. This enables the blood to clot. Blood must clot (hemostasis) in order to stop bleeding from injury or diseases that lead to hemorrhage/bleeding. Anticoagulants inhibit the creation of fibrin.
Platelets are cells within our blood that bind together to help the blood clot. Their main function is to stop us from bleeding to death. When the body is bleeding a signal is sent and the platelets respond by traveling to the area of the bleeding.
Clots that are formed in the vein are mostly made of fibrin. This includes the diagnoses that we see of deep-vein-thrombosis (DVT). However, clots in the arteries typically are formed with mostly platelets. This includes the arterial diagnoses we see such as arterial thrombus, brain thrombus and heart thrombus, to name a few.
