Question

In which of the following, bilirubin is excreted in urine?

Options

Answer 1

Explanation:

This condition develops when there is an abnormal accumulation of bilirubin in the bloodstream. In situations of hepatocellular or obstructive jaundice, conjugated bilirubin (which is water-soluble) escapes into the bloodstream and is discharged in the urine, giving it a dark yellow or tea colour.
