Question 17 • VA_Pharmacology_A

What are the similarities and differences between hemophilia and thrombosis?

Answer
A
Both are caused by the coagulation cascade, but only hemophilia is treated with anticoagulants.
B
Both are clotting disorders, but thrombosis is caused by overactive clotting.
C
Both can result in excessive bleeding, but thrombosis can be treated with clotting factors.
D
Both are hematologic disorders, but only hemophilia is related to clotting.

Explanation

Both hemophilia and thrombosis involve abnormal blood clotting, so they are clotting disorders. Hemophilia occurs when clotting is impaired, leading to excessive bleeding; thrombosis occurs when a clot forms abnormally inside a blood vessel because clotting is excessive or inappropriate. Thus, the correct choice is “Both are clotting disorders, but thrombosis is caused by overactive clotting.”
