A patient's noninvasive assessment has not resolved whether cirrhosis is present or what caused it. Which next step may be used to help clarify the diagnosis or cause?

  1. A

    Whenever a patient reports fatigue

  2. B

    Liver biopsy, when noninvasive assessment does not resolve the diagnosis or cause

  3. C

    As the only method for assessing liver structure

Which statement best distinguishes the purposes of Child–Pugh and MELD-based scores?

  1. A

    Both tools have the same components and are used only to diagnose the cause of cirrhosis.

  2. B

    Child–Pugh estimates short-term mortality using laboratory tests alone; MELD classifies disease as A, B, or C.

  3. C

    Child–Pugh uses laboratory measures and clinical grading to classify disease as A, B, or C; MELD-based scores estimate short-term mortality risk.

  4. D

    Both tools replace individual clinical assessment.

  2. B

    Migraine, asthma, and kidney stones

  3. C

    Influenza, anemia, and appendicitis

A patient has both longstanding alcohol-associated liver disease and metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease. Which interpretation is most accurate?

  1. A

    Only the alcohol-associated liver disease can contribute to cirrhosis; the metabolic condition is unrelated.

  2. B

    Both conditions may contribute to the liver injury that leads to cirrhosis.

  3. C

    The two conditions cancel one another out, preventing cirrhosis.

  4. D

    Cirrhosis is possible only if chronic viral hepatitis is also present.

During a noninvasive assessment for possible cirrhosis, which description correctly matches two imaging methods with what they help assess?

  1. A

    Ultrasound can assess liver structure, and elastography can assess liver stiffness.

  2. B

    Ultrasound measures liver stiffness, while elastography is used to measure blood counts.

  3. C

    Both tests are used only to identify inherited causes of liver disease.

  4. D

    Neither test contributes to assessment of possible cirrhosis.

A patient with suspected cirrhosis has a low serum albumin level. Which interpretation is best?

  1. A

    It directly indicates increased visual acuity.

  2. B

    It establishes that the patient has an acute infection.

  3. C

    It may reflect impaired liver synthesis, although other conditions can also lower albumin.

  4. D

    It rules out cirrhosis if the patient has no jaundice.

A patient with cirrhosis develops new ascites but has no history of encephalopathy or gastrointestinal bleeding. Which description best fits the disease course?

  1. A

    The disease remains compensated because ascites does not affect staging.

  2. B

    The disease is considered decompensated because ascites has occurred.

  3. C

    The patient has acute liver failure by definition.

  4. D

    The patient must have end-stage kidney disease.
