If liver is removed, the component that increases in blood
A
Protein
B
Urea
C
Uric acid
D
Ammonia
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The liver is an integral part of the metabolic process. Deamination produces ammonia, which is quickly transformed to harmless urea. The latter is carried by blood to the kidneys, where it is excreted as urine. Removal of liver will increase the concentration of ammonia in blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -The liver is so crucial to existence that while you can live with only part of a liver, you can’t live without any liver at all. Without a liver: your blood won’t properly clot, causing uncontrolled bleeding. toxins and chemical and digestive byproducts will build up in the blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ammonia is produced from leftover amino acids, and it must be removed from the body. The liver produces several chemicals (enzymes) that change ammonia into a form called urea, which the body can remove in the urine.

Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct answer is ‘ammonia’.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ammonia is a toxic product of nitrogen metabolism which should be removed from our body. The urea cycle or ornithine cycle converts excess ammonia into urea in the mitochondria of liver cells. The urea forms, then enters the blood stream, is filtered by the kidneys and is ultimately excreted in the urine.
