Which does NOT predispose to pulmonary thrombosis?
a) bound to wheelchair
b) just had surgery
c) cirrohosis
d) use of birth control pills
e) COPD

I think it's either C or E. Not sure which doesn't predispose to pulmonary thrombosis.

  #2

i guess its C but m not sure...coz liver damaged so less protein C/antithrobin 3 deficency.....avtually never read per se abt pul thrombosis, pul emboli i guess are more common

  #3

I wud go for Cirrhosis Although To Me COPD really seems a good candidate for the Answer. Will have to think over it .
