KROK 1 2012 – Question 173 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
An infectious disease unit admitted a patient with signs of jaundice caused by hepatitis virus. Select an indicator that is specific only for parenchymatous jaundice:
- A. Cholaemia
- B. Increase in ALT and AST rate
- C. Urobilinuria
- D. Hyperbilirubinemia
- E. Bilirubinuria
Hint
Look for the laboratory change that reflects what the virus does to the liver tissue itself, instead of a change in bilirubin or bile handling that also occurs in other types of jaundice.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
