    Which of these is a systemic disease affecting the liver and billiary tree?  - ProProfs

    Which of these is a systemic disease affecting the liver and billiary tree? 

    • Dysphagia

    • Nephritis

    • Edema

    • Haemochromatosis

    Correct Answer
    A. Haemochromatosis
    Explanation
    Haemochromatosis is a systemic disease that affects the liver and billiary tree. It is a genetic disorder characterized by excessive absorption and accumulation of iron in the body, leading to iron overload. This excess iron deposition in the liver can cause liver damage and dysfunction, leading to liver disease. Additionally, it can also affect the billiary tree, causing billiary complications such as billiary cirrhosis and billiary obstruction. Therefore, Haemochromatosis is the correct answer as it specifically relates to a systemic disease affecting the liver and billiary tree.

    Hematological disorders can develop as a result of the following except  - ProProfs

    Hematological disorders can develop as a result of the following except 

    • Overdose of paracetamol

    • Enzyme defects

    • Jaundice

    • Migraines

    Correct Answer
    A. Migraines
    Explanation
    Hematological disorders are conditions that affect the blood and its components. Overdose of paracetamol, enzyme defects, and jaundice are all known to be potential causes of hematological disorders. However, migraines are not typically associated with hematological disorders. Migraines are a type of headache characterized by severe pain, often accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea and sensitivity to light or sound. While migraines can be debilitating, they are not considered to be a direct cause of hematological disorders.

    Which of the following body fluids is most important in hepatology? - ProProfs

    Which of the following body fluids is most important in hepatology?

    • Sweat 

    • Synovial fluid

    • Saliva

    • Urine

    Correct Answer
    A. Urine
    Explanation
    Urine is the most important body fluid in hepatology because it contains various waste products and metabolites that can provide valuable information about the liver's function. Urine can be tested for the presence of bilirubin, urobilinogen, and other liver enzymes, which can indicate liver diseases or dysfunction. Additionally, urine can be used to measure the levels of certain drugs or toxins that may affect the liver. Therefore, analyzing urine can help diagnose and monitor liver conditions, making it a crucial fluid in hepatology.

    • Hepatitis C

    • Hepatitis D

    Correct Answer
    A. Hepatitis D

    • Baruch Blumberg

    • Thomas Starzi

    Correct Answer
    A. Baruch Blumberg
    Explanation
    Baruch Blumberg is the correct answer because he discovered the Hepatitis B virus in 1966. Blumberg was an American physician and geneticist who made significant contributions to the field of virology. His discovery of the Hepatitis B virus led to the development of diagnostic tests and a vaccine for the disease, which has had a major impact on public health worldwide. Blumberg was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1976 for his work on the Hepatitis B virus.

    The following increase the development  of hepatological disorders except   - ProProfs

    The following increase the development  of hepatological disorders except  

    • Excessive alcohol intake

    • Smoking

    • Overdose of diuretics

    • Jaundice

    Correct Answer
    A. Overdose of diuretics
    Explanation
    Excessive alcohol intake, smoking, and jaundice are known to increase the development of hepatological disorders. Excessive alcohol intake can lead to alcoholic liver disease, smoking increases the risk of liver cancer, and jaundice is often a symptom of liver disease. However, an overdose of diuretics does not directly contribute to the development of hepatological disorders. Diuretics are medications that promote diuresis, or increased urine production, and are commonly used to treat conditions like high blood pressure and edema. While diuretics can have side effects, such as electrolyte imbalances, they are not typically associated with hepatological disorders.

His pioneering work paved the way for the advancement of liver transplantation as a life-saving procedure.
