43
White infarct pathogenesis
- pale looking - arterial block - organ doesnt get the blood looks pale (no bleeding) - happens in solid organs that then undergo coagulative necrosis
44
Red infarct pathogenesis
Large amount of bleeding into the organ • Soft organs with tissue spaces - lungs • Tissues with dual blood supply (lungs and small intestine)bleeding from anastamosing vessels • Venous infarcts (congestion followed by infarction) • When flow is reestablished after arterial occlusion and necrosis also known as re perfusion injury

97
Factor V mutation
Recurrent thrombotic episodes at such a young age strongly suggest an inherited coagulopathy. The factor V (Leiden) mutation affects 2% to 15% of the population, and more than half of all individuals with a history of recurrent deep venous thrombosis have such a defect. Inherited deficiencies of the anticoagulant proteins antithrombin III and protein C can cause hypercoagulable states, but these are much less common than factor V mutation
