Prolonged use of aspirin causes_______________?

Correct answer: A. Hypoprothrombinemia

  • A. Hypoprothrombinemia
  • B. Hyperprothrombinemia
  • C. Hyprphosphatasia
  • D. Hypercalcemia

Explanation

Prolonged aspirin use can cause hypoprothrombinemia by impairing vitamin K-dependent clotting factor function, in addition to inhibiting platelet aggregation. This increases the risk of bleeding rather than producing hyperprothrombinemia.
