The Blood Clotting System Is Blocked Both in Patients with Classical

question 18

Multiple Choice

The blood clotting system is blocked both in patients with classical hemophilia and as a result of high doses of coumarin-type anticoagulants.However, coumarin and related drugs can be deadly, whereas hemophiliac patients can live with their clotting disorder.The reason for this difference is:

• A)Coumarin and related drugs activate the fibrinolytic system, in addition to blocking the clotting cascade.
• B)Only the intrinsic pathway of blood clotting is blocked in hemophilia, but intrinsic, extrinsic, and final common pathways are all blocked in coumarin poisoning.
• C)Von Willebrand factor is abnormal in coumarin poisoning but not in classical hemophilia.
• D)Coumarin and related drugs inhibit contact phase activation in the intrinsic pathway; this process is intact in classical hemophilia.
• E)Fibrinogen is normal in classical hemophilia, but coumarin and related drugs cause the formation of structurally abnormal fibrinogen.
