KROK 1 2007 – Question 9 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathophysiology
Analysis of blood serum of a patient revealed increase of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase level. What cytological changes can cause such a situation?
- A. Disturbed function of energy supply of cells
- B. Disorder of enzyme systems of cells
- C. Disturbance of genetic apparatus of cells
- D. Cellular breakdown
- E. Disturbance of cellular interrelations
Hint
Both transaminases normally work inside cells, so a large rise in serum means they have escaped; consider what must have happened to the cell for that to occur.
