the liver synthesizes all the clotting factors, and requires vitamin K to activate factors II, VII, IX and X. Reduced plasma concentration of coagulation factors occurs in liver damage, which is easily recognized by prolongation of prothrombin time, which depends on factors I, II, V, VII and X.

How aspirin causes increased prothrombin time?
It decreases synthesis of thromboxane A2 and prostaglandins to increase bleeding time. It does not affect PT or PTT. Prothrombin time unaffected!
Is it dangerous to have a prothrombin level of 41.8?
A prothrombin level of 41.8 seconds (assuming that's the measurement) indicates a prolonged clotting time, which can suggest a bleeding risk or a coagulation disorder. Normal prothrombin times typically range from 11 to 13.5 seconds. Elevated levels can be caused by various factors, such as liver disease, vitamin K deficiency, or anticoagulant medication. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
