destruction. << correct answer >>Causes of elevated direct bilirubin levels are due to the liver
T/f True. Direct bilirubin is conjugated by the liver having been bound with glucoronic acid and
made water soluble for excretion << correct answer >>In alcoholics, you can expect an AST:ALT ratio of
____ >2 << correct answer >>If the AST:ALT ratio is >5, the NP expects there are extra-hepatic sources
of AST
