Link to Article | |
In each type of jaundice, will bilirubinuria be detected?
|
Haemolytic NO - because most of bilirubin is unconjugated Obstructive YES - because conjugated bilirubin accumulates Hepatocellular NO - because bilirubin fails to conjugate due to liver cell damage NB - the kidney can only excrete the water soluble conjugate |

Link to Article | |
| Hepatic lipidosis or fatty liver syndrome is associated with? | Dietary factors: obesity and starvation Increased demand for energy: pregnancy, lactation, and starvation in physiological states Diabetes mellitus, ketosis, and pregnancy toxaemia in pathological conditions Abnormal hepatocytic function: prevents fatty acids from forming complexes with proteins to form low density lipoproteins for secretion into the blood |
