primary cause of bleeding disorder in liver damage is due to______________?
Correct answer: B. Decreased level of prothrombin
- A. Lack of vitamin K
- B. Decreased level of prothrombin
- C. Platelet deficiency
- D. Lack of vitamin B
Explanation
Damaged liver cannot adequately synthesize prothrombin and other clotting factors, making reduced prothrombin a major cause of bleeding. Vitamin K deficiency can worsen the problem, but it is not the primary defect in intrinsic liver damage.
