KROK 1 2007 – Question 59 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathophysiology
A 48 y.o. patient was admitted to the hospital with complaints about weakness, irritability, sleep disturbance. Objectively: skin and scleras are yellow. In blood: conjugated bilirubin, cholalemia. Feces are acholic. Urine is of dark colour (bilirubin). What jaundice is it?
- A. Mechanic
- B. Hemolytic
- C. Crigler-Najjar syndrome
- D. Gilbert’s syndrome
- E. Parenchymatous
Hint
Pale stool and bilirubin in the urine show that conjugated pigment reaches the blood but not the gut; think about which block in the bile pathway causes this.
