Q4 · Alcoholic Liver Disease
MediumExplanation
Mallory-Denk bodies are eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions of damaged intermediate filaments, classically seen in alcoholic hepatitis though not specific to it. They reflect hepatocyte injury.
Q5 · Emphysema

Systemic Pathology sits within Pathology, which carries the same syllabus in both exams. This set runs to 7 questions, each tagged Easy, Medium or Hard, 1 of them at Hard, and 3 drawn from previous-year papers.
Answer first, then read the explanation even on the ones you got right — the reasoning is where Systemic Pathology marks are actually won, and it is what separates a recalled fact from a question you can solve in a new form. Once the Easy set feels comfortable, filter to Hard to find the gaps Pathology examiners keep returning to.
