Correct answer: D. A & B

  • A. Nephritis
  • B. Chronic hepatitis
  • C. Bleeding disorders
  • D. A & B

Explanation

Paracetamol should be avoided in significant liver disease because toxic metabolites can cause severe hepatic injury, and it is also avoided or dose-adjusted in serious renal disease. Thus both chronic hepatitis and nephritis are intended contraindication settings in this question.
