Answer to Question 1

Considering elevated LFTs, PT off 2.5 secs, and Dx, it should be clear that Mr. N has a liver that cannot perform normally. This could contribute to the decrease in Hgb, Hct & Ser Alb. However, since Ser Alb is so low and Mr. N lost 22 lbs and is an alcoholic, malnutrition has to be a considered as a contributor also. The actual causes of Hgb and Hct being depressed are probably d/t liver disease and poor intake of iron and protein. MCV is probably elevated 2o to alcohol metabolism and poor intake of folic acid and B12.

Answer to Question 2
