Respuesta :
Jaundice is a liver disease due to increased bilirubin buildup. The mechanism most likely responsible for this is posthepatic obstruction and a likely responsible disease process is cholelithiasis. Thus, option c is correct.
What is cholelithiasis?
Cholelithiasis has been defined as the gallstones that are characterized by the calculi deposition in the liver and the gallbladder. This leads to increased secretion of the bilirubin enzyme.
The cholelithiasis disorder secretes an excess of enzymes by a posthepatic obstruction that blocks the bile ducts leading to the accumulation of yellow pigment bilirubin.
Therefore, option c. posthepatic obstruction and cholelithiasis are correct blank.
