Question
Answer
sickle cell disease is best differentiated from sickle cell trait by   electrophoresis (protein separation)  
🗑
Painful swelling of hands and feet caused by sickle cell in the microcirculation of sickle cell infants is   dactylitis  
🗑
a patient with sickle cell anemia may develop cardiopulmonary disease due to   increased blood viscosity  
🗑
the hemolytic anemias are generally classified morphologically as   normocytic normochromic  
🗑
The hemoglobin that cannot be separated from Hgb S through electrophoresis in buffer at pH 8.6 is   Hgb D pungab, Hgb G philia  
🗑
Autosplenectomy is characteristic of   Sickle cell  
🗑
The hemoglobin variant that is seen frequently in the southeastern population, shows a microcytic picture and migrates with Hgb C at 8.6 is   Hgb E  
🗑
Which of the following "poikilocytes " is classically associated with hemoglobinopathies and liver disease?   target cells  
🗑
Cholelithasis is frequent complication of patients with hereditary spherocytosis because   increased bilirubin is a frequent finding to continued hemolysis  
🗑
Spherocytes do not function well in the splenic environment because   equilibrium is off (spherocytes have too much sodium, and the spleens environment has a low pH, low ATP, and low glucose)  
🗑
One of the gravest clinical problems for individuals with thalassemia major is   Iron overload  
🗑
The RBC inclusions that are composed of denatured hemoglobin are called   Heinz bodies  
🗑
Which of the following morphological features is classic in the megaloblastic anemias   macro ovalocytes (hypersegmented nutrophils)  
🗑
Spherocytes differ from normal cells in all of the following ways   no central pallor (less stretching, ATP disrupted, accumulate sodium @ a faster rate)  
🗑
An appropriate M:E ratio in the case of megaloblastic anemia would be   1:1 to 1:3  
🗑
Individuals with fanconi's anemia characteristically show   Structure abnormalities of the kidney, Chromosomal abnormalities, defective DNA repair, causing short stature, hyper-pigmentation on the trunk and neck, and broad nose  
🗑
Ineffective erythropoeisis is defined as   destruction in the bone marrow of RBC precursors before they reach the peripheral circulation  
🗑
Red cells that are resistant to malaria, rigid, and spoon shaped   Southeastern ovalocytosis  
🗑
On electrophoresis, the majority hemoglobin for individuals with thalassemia major is   Hgb F  
🗑
One of the least severe clinical manifestations of G6PD defenciency is   Congenital nonspherosytic hemolytic anemia (CNHA)  
🗑
Storage iron is usually determined by the   serum ferritin (can be tested at all 3 stages)  
🗑
Failure to thrive, bossed skull, severe anemia, and splenomegaly are all symptoms of which of the following disorders   beta thalassemia major state  
🗑
The alpha thalassemic condition that is incompatible with life is   Barts Hydrob fetalis  
🗑
The first stage of iron deficiency anemia is termed   stage 1: Continuum of iron depletion from the marrow  
🗑
Which inclusion is associated with a "pitted" golf ball appearance   Hgb H  
🗑
In adults, which of the following is the most common cause of iron deficiency anemia   external blood loss (men GI bleeding and women menses)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
