Identify the factors which decrease the effect of Oral anticoagulants_______________?

Correct answer: E. Both A & B

  • A. Pregnancy
  • B. Nephrotic syndorme
  • C. Newborn
  • D. Liver disease
  • E. Both A & B

Explanation

Pregnancy and nephrotic syndrome can reduce the apparent effect of oral anticoagulants because both are associated with a hypercoagulable state and altered anticoagulant handling. Liver disease generally increases anticoagulant sensitivity by reducing clotting-factor synthesis rather than decreasing the drug effect.
