KROK 1 2013 – Question 70 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
A patient has normally coloured stool including a large amount of free fatty acids. The reason for this is a disturbance of the following process:
- A. Biliary excretion
- B. Fat absorption
- C. Fat hydrolysis
- D. Choleresis
- E. Lipase secretion
Hint
Use the normal colour of the faeces and the presence of split fat to work out which earlier steps of fat handling worked, and so where the failure lies.
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.
