A patient with chronic alcoholism develops severe liver cirrhosis. Which of the following laboratory findings would most likely be observed due to impaired liver function?
✓ Correct Answer: Option C
Cirrhosis impairs the liver's ability to conjugate bilirubin, leading to an increase in unconjugated bilirubin. It also leads to decreased albumin synthesis, increased PT (due to reduced clotting factors), and increased ammonia levels.
