Why does heparin-induced thrombocytopenia increase thrombosis risk?
a. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia increases thrombosis risk because it destroys platelets
b. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia reduces the release of procoagulants
c. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia causes an increased production of thrombin
d. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia inhibits inflammatory mediators

Answer:

c. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia causes an increased production of thrombin

Explanation:

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) increases the risk of thrombosis because it leads to an abnormal immune response where antibodies activate platelets. This activation results in an increased production of thrombin, promoting clot formation and thereby increasing the risk of thrombosis.
