← Human Body & HealthWhich failure mode becomes likely when a patient with hemophilia experiences a severe injury?
A)Overactive plasmin-mediated clot lysis
B)Inadequate fibrin mesh formation✓
C)Excessive thromboxane A2 production
D)Uncontrolled von Willebrand factor adhesion
💡 Explanation
In hemophilia, there are deficiencies in clotting factors essential for the coagulation cascade. This leads to inadequate fibrin mesh formation because the intrinsic pathway is impaired, therefore stable clot formation is prevented, rather than other aspects of hemostasis being directly affected.
