A 60-year-old man presents with dizziness, nausea, and severe shortness of breath of several months' duration. Physical examination shows hepatomegaly, ascites, and anasarca. His blood pressure is 200/115 mm Hg. An X-ray film of the chest demonstrates cardiomegaly and mild pulmonary edema. Although different mechanisms may have contributed to the pathogenesis of hypertension in this patient, the common end result for all of them is which of the following? (A) Arterial cystic medial necrosis (B) Decreased plasma oncotic pressure (C) Generalized vasodilation (D) Increased peripheral vascular resistance (E) Increased vascular permeability

A female who is 36-year-old, experienced a recent weight loss. Her tongue was red and fissured. She also complained of chronic fatigue and shortness of breath upon exertion. Physical examination suggested signs of jaundice and increased numbness and a tingling sensation of fingers and toes. She was hospitalized with the general diagnosis of moderate anemia, jaundice, and neurological symptoms.

A 55-year-old man comes to the emergency department with epistaxis (uncontrolled nosebleed). He reports that he has “bleeder’s disease” and has had multiple episodes of inflammatory hemarthroses (joint bleeding). Physical examination reveals swollen, immobilized knees; mild jaundice; and an enlarged liver and spleen. CBC results indicate that the patient is anemic and has thrombocytopenia with a platelet count of 74,400/mL (reference interval, 150,000 to 450,000/mL). The PT is 18 seconds (reference interval, 12 to 14 seconds), and the PTT is 43 seconds (reference interval, 25 to 35 seconds).Diagnosis: Liver Disease Provide strong evidence of the diagnosis by creating a table of other possible parameters or test results (coagulation tests) that might be present in this type of condition.
