KROK 1 2009 – Question 158 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathophysiology
A patient suffers from the haemorrhagic syndrome that shows itself in frequent nasal bleedings, posttraumatic and spontaneous intracutaneous and intra-articular haemorrhages. After a laboratory study a patient was diagnosed with the type B haemophilia. This disease is provoked by the deficit of the following factor of blood coagulation:
- A. XI
- B. V
- C. VII
- D. VIII
- E. IX
Hint
Recall which intrinsic-pathway clotting factor is missing in each of the two classic X-linked haemophilias, and match the type B form to its factor.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
