Answer to Question 1

C
Clinical manifestations of hepatic insufficiency are evident 1 to 2 days after the insult. Jaundice and transient elevations in serum transaminase and bilirubin levels occur. Hyperbilirubinemia results from hepatocyte anoxic injury and an increased production of bilirubin from hemoglobin catabolism.

Answer to Question 2

A
Endothelial damage triggers the release of tissue factor. Thrombin is released, and clots form, consuming coagulation factors. The fibrinolytic system is triggered to break down the clots, which leads to spontaneous hemorrhage.
