Ans: A, B, C
Feedback:
Among the manifestations of the direct, predictable liver injury that accompanies overdoses of acetaminophen is acute fulminant hepatitis. A very early sign of hepatic encephalopathy is a flapping tremor called asterixis. It also results in CNS signs/symptoms of confusion, coma, and convulsions. Elevated creatinine levels are not usually associated with acute fulminant hepatitis.
