Question

Trace amounts of bilirubin and urobilinogen may be found in a normal urine sample.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

True. Bilirubin and urobilinogen can be found in a normal urine sample, but in trace amounts.

Step-by-step explanation:

True. Trace amounts of bilirubin and urobilinogen may be found in a normal urine sample. Bilirubin is a waste product produced when the spleen removes old or damaged red blood cells from the circulation. Urobilinogen is a product of bilirubin metabolism, and both bilirubin and urobilinogen can be present in urine at low levels.
