What are the correct definitions for the medical terms underlined below? Laboratory Data: Significant for increased LFTs, hypoalbuminemia, and hyperbilirubinemia.

A. LFTs = liver function tests  hypoalbuminemia: hypo (under) + albumin (albumin) + emia (urine condition) = not enough albumin in the urine hyperbilirubinemia: hyper (over) + bilirubin (bilirubin) + emia (urine condition) = too much bilirubin in the urine B. LFTs = liver function tests  hypoalbuminemia: hypo (over) + albumin (albumin) + emia (blood condition) = too much albumin in the blood  hyperbilirubinemia: hyper (under) + bilirubin (bilirubin) + emia (blood condition) = not enough bilirubin in the blood C. LFTs = liver function tests  hypoalbuminemia: hypo (under) + albumin (albumin) + emia (blood condition) = not enough albumin in the blood  hyperbilirubinemia: hyper (over) + bilirubin (bilirubin) + emia (blood condition) = too much bilirubin in the blood D. LFTs = liver function tests  hypoalbuminemia: hypo (over) + albumin (albumin) + emia (urine condition) = too much albumin in the urine  hyperbilirubinemia: hyper (under) + bilirubin (bilirubin) + emia (urine condition) = not enough bilirubin in the urine
