White thrombus and red thrombus can be distinguished from common thrombus sites, naked eye view, microscopic view, and main components.
1. Common thrombus site: white thrombus is mostly found in the heart valves, heart chambers and arteries with fast blood flow, and the beginning of venous continuity thrombus; red thrombus is mostly found in the place with extremely slow blood flow, such as varicose veins with stagnant blood flow, which are prone to red thrombus or located in the tail of venous continuity thrombus.
2. Naked eye view: white thrombus is small in size, grayish-white in color, with rough surface, often with ripples, closely connected with blood vessels, and part of the white thrombus can be in the form of superfluous organisms.
Red thrombus is generally larger, mostly dark red, the same shape with the presence of blood vessels, fresh red thrombus wet, elastic, old red thrombus due to the absorption of water, fragile, lose elasticity, and easy to fall off, resulting in embolism.
3. Microscopic view: white thrombus can be found under the microscope with platelets, leukocytes and fibrinogen. Red thrombus under the microscope is full of blood cells like normal blood components inside the fibrous network.
4. Main components: white blood clots are mainly composed of platelets and a small amount of fibrinogen; red blood clots are mainly composed of red blood cells and fibrinogen.
If you are detected with thrombus, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment in time.
