Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

Serum liver enzyme levels are elevated in liver disease because the injured liver tissue releases the enzymes into the bloodstream. Serum levels of bilirubin may be increased if the liver is too damaged to process it or if bile ducts are blocked and prevent its excretion. The impaired synthesis of plasma proteins by the liver reduces albumin levels and extends blood-clotting time as measured by prothrombin time. Liver damage also reduces the conversion of ammonia to urea, causing ammonia levels in the blood to rise. And bilirubin level will rise as its excretion is decreased.
