RBC Pathologies exam # 20 Practice
Questions with Verified Answers.
This disorder can result from a slow growing cancer of the bone marrow producing
increased HCT, RBCs, WBCs, and platelets - -Polycythemia Vera
-A hereditary disorder that generates microcytic, hypochromic, red blood cells - -
Thalassemia
-This disorder can arise from bone marrow destruction and is characterizes by
decreased HCT, RBCs, WBCs, and platelets - -Aplastic anemia
-This type of anemia can result from chronic blood loss - -Iron-deficiency anemia
-The red blood cells shrink over time due to loss of the RBC membranes - -Hereditary
Spherocytosis
-This anemia can occur due to blood transfusion of mismatched blood - -Acquired
hemolytic anemia
-Kidney disease leads to decreased EPO, producing decreased RBCs, but normal WBCs
and platelets - -Aplastic anemia
-A person with this would have a hard time maintaining iron in a reduced state and
should avoid fava beans - -G6PD deficiency
-A form of this anemia results in non-viable pregnancies because all four of the Hb
alpha-subunit gene copies are nonfunctional - -Thalassemia
-Increased HCT due to dehydration - -Relative Polycythemia
-A mutation resulting in a valine amino acid substituted for glutamic acid - -Sickle cell
anemia
-Ascending to high altitudes produces an adaptive increased EPO and HCT - -
Secondary Polycythemia
-Venom from Southern Pacific Rattlesnakes can cause this - -Acquired hemolytic
anemia
-Gastric atrophy causing less intrinsic factor would cause this anemia - -Megaloblastic
anemia
-Normochromic cells with decreased MCV and increased MCHC - -Hereditary
spherocytosis
