Damage to liver cells leads to increase in :
Answer: C
Damage to liver cells leads to an increase in bilirubin.
Bilirubin, formed from the breakdown of haemoglobin, is taken up by liver cells, conjugated and excreted in bile. When liver cells are damaged, as in hepatitis or cirrhosis, they cannot process it, so bilirubin builds up in the blood and causes jaundice. Raised liver enzymes (ALT, AST) are the other classic sign.
Blood sugar, serum cholesterol and sodium do not rise as a direct marker of liver cell damage; in severe liver disease blood sugar may in fact fall.
