Which condition is characterized by prolonged bleeding time but normal clotting time in a patient with a bleeding disorder?
Explanation
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) leads to an increased bleeding time due to low platelet count, while clotting time remains normal. In contrast, hemophilia A and B, as well as vitamin K deficiency, primarily affect clotting factors, resulting in prolonged clotting time.
