Liver cirrhosis — what happens EXCEPT?

In liver cirrhosis: The liver is the main site of albumin production, so albumin DECREASES (B is true). The liver produces clotting factors, so their reduction causes PROLONGED bleeding time (C is true). Fibrinogen catabolism is actually DECREASED because the liver processes fibrinogen — but production is also impaired (D has some truth in context). PLATELETS — cirrhosis causes THROMBOCYTOPENIA (decreased platelets) due to portal hypertension → splenomegaly → platelet sequestration. Therefore 'increase platelets' (A) does NOT happen — this is the EXCEPT answer.
