How does dysfibrinogenemia affect the coagulation process, and what are its clinical implications?
A
It leads to an increased risk of thrombosis due to enhanced fibrin formation
B
It results in a bleeding tendency due to impaired fibrin clot formation
✓
C
It has no significant effect on coagulation, but may cause renal dysfunction
D
It increases the risk of arterial thrombosis, but not venous thrombosis
Explanation
Dysfibrinogenemia is a rare coagulation disorder characterized by the presence of abnormal fibrinogen, leading to impaired fibrin clot formation and a bleeding tendency.
