The difference between thromboplastin and thrombin lies in different concepts, effects, and drug properties. Usually, it should be used according to the doctor’s instructions. If any adverse reactions occur, such as allergies, low fever, etc., you need to stop taking the medicine immediately and go to the hematology department for treatment.
1. Different concepts:
Thromboplastin, also known as thrombin, is a substance that can activate prothrombin to thrombin. Thrombin, also known as fibrinase, is a serine protease that is a white to grayish white freeze-dried block or powder. It is a key enzyme in the coagulation mechanism;
2. Different effects:
Thromboplastin can accelerate the formation of blood clots on the surface of the lesion by activating the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin, thereby achieving the purpose of rapid hemostasis. Thrombin can generally act directly on the last step of the coagulation process, converting the fibrinogen in the plasma into insoluble fibrin. After local application, it acts on the blood on the surface of the lesion, which is conducive to the rapid formation of a clot with high stability. It is often used to inhibit capillary and venous bleeding, and can also be used as a fixative for skin and tissue transplants;
3. Different drug properties:
Thrombin only has one preparation, sterile lyophilized powder, which is contraindicated for patients who are allergic to thrombin. And thrombin only has an injection formulation, which can only be injected intramuscularly, not intravenously, to avoid thrombosis.
In daily life, you should avoid blindly taking medicine on your own, and all medicines should be used under the guidance of professional doctors.
