A nurse is reviewing the client’s laboratory results. The client’s bilirubin level is 2.0 mg/dL. The client’s bilirubin level suggests which of the following?

Liver disease
Splenic disease
Kidney disease
Pancreatic disease

Explanation

Answer: A - The client’s bilirubin level indicates the development of a liver disease. Too much bilirubin in the blood may be due to overproduction of bilirubin, hemolysis, or the liver’s incapability to effectively remove bilirubin from the blood. The latter may result from blocked bile ducts, cirrhosis, hepatitis or other problems with bilirubin processing. The normal level of bilirubin is 0.2 - 1.0 mg/dL.
