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
