Name five congenital liver deficiencies.

a) Wilson's disease, Hemochromatosis, Gilbert's syndrome, Dubin-Johnson syndrome, Crigler-Najjar syndrome
b) Cirrhosis, Fatty liver disease, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C
c) Crohn's disease, Ulcerative colitis, Celiac disease, Irritable bowel syndrome, Diverticulitis
d) Asthma, COPD, Bronchitis, Pneumonia, Tuberculosis

Answer 1

Wilson's disease, Hemochromatosis, Gilbert's syndrome, Dubin-Johnson syndrome, and Crigler-Najjar syndrome are congenital liver deficiencies.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several congenital liver deficiencies. Some examples include:

1. Wilson's disease: a hereditary disease that causes the body to retain copper.
2. Hemochromatosis: a hereditary disease causing the accumulation of iron in the body, eventually leading to liver damage.
3. Gilbert's syndrome: a genetic disorder of bilirubin metabolism found in about 5% of the population.
4. Dubin-Johnson syndrome: a rare genetic disorder in which an abnormal protein prevents the liver from properly secreting bilirubin into bile.
5. Crigler-Najjar syndrome: a rare genetic disorder characterized by high levels of bilirubin in the blood due to a deficiency in the enzyme that helps break it down.
