KROK 1 2012 – Question 98 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
Blood analysis of a patient with jaundice reveals conjugated bilirubinemia, increased concentration of bile acids. There is no stercobilinogen in urine. What type of jaundice is it?
- A. Cythemolytic jaundice
- B. Hepatocellular jaundice
- C. Hemolytic jaundice
- D. Obstructive jaundice
- E. Parenchymatous jaundice
Hint
Combine the laboratory clues: which bilirubin fraction accumulates, why bile acids rise, and what the missing stercobilinogen says about bile reaching the intestine.
