Correct. Nephrotic syndrome is associated with the loss of antithrombin III in the urine, which impairs its anticoagulant function, contributing to a hypercoagulable state.
Incorrect. Elevated fibrinogen levels are not a primary factor contributing to the hypercoagulability in nephrotic syndrome.
Incorrect. While platelet count can be altered in various medical conditions, it is not the primary factor leading to hypercoagulability in nephrotic syndrome.
Incorrect. Reduced prothrombin time is not a characteristic feature of nephrotic syndrome but rather a measure of blood clotting.
