Nikolay [14]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf Thrombosis}}

Explanation:

First, let's figure out what heparin is.

It is a prescription, injectable drug that is a blood thinner. It helps to prevent the blood from clotting.

Now, let's analyze each disease and see which one would need heparin.

Anemia

  • The body lacks sufficient red blood cells and hemoglobin, so oxygen delivery to cells isn't efficient. This wouldn't need a blood thinner.

Iron deficiency

  • This is linked to anemia. The body doesn't have enough iron or red blood cells, and anemia ensues.

Hemophilia

  • A genetic disease where blood can't clot. A blood thinner is meant to prevent blood clots and the blood already can't do that. It would only make the problem worse.

Thrombosis

  • Involves the clotting of blood, which blocks the blood vessels. This would need a blood thinner to prevent the clots.

The best answer choice is <u>thrombosis.</u>
