In jaundice, there is an unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia which is most likely due to __________?
Correct answer: C. Increased break down of red cells
- A. Hepatitis
- B. Cirrhosis
- C. Increased break down of red cells
- D. Obstruction of bile canaliculi
Explanation
Increased red-cell destruction produces excess bilirubin before the liver can conjugate it, causing unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Hepatitis and biliary obstruction more typically raise conjugated bilirubin, although mixed patterns can occur.
