Question

question 22 (mandatory) (1 point) listen what is your diagnosis for a patient who presents with lymphocytosis and increased alt and ast markers? a) viral hepatitis b) kidney disease c) urinary tract infection d) bacterial hepatitis

Explanation:

Lymphocytosis (an increase in lymphocytes) along with elevated alanine - aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate - aminotransferase (AST) markers are common in viral hepatitis. ALT and AST are liver - specific enzymes, and their elevation indicates liver damage. Viral infections often cause lymphocytosis as part of the immune response. Kidney disease, urinary tract infection, and bacterial hepatitis do not typically present with this exact combination in the same way.

Answer:

a) Viral hepatitis
