Question
Answer
The hemoglobin variant that is seen frequently in the Southeast Asian population, and migrates with Hgb C at pH 8.6, is:   E  
🗑
A patient with sickle cell anemia may develop cardiopulmonary disease due to:   High blood viscosity  
🗑
The Benin haplotype of sickle cell disease is prevalent in which country or countries?   West Africa  
🗑
What "poikilocytes" are classically associated who hemoglobinopathies and liver disease?   Target cells  
🗑
Painful swelling of hands and feet caused by sickle cells in the microcirculation of sickle cells in infants is termed:   Dactylitis  
🗑
Patients with sickle cell anemia generally have a hemoglobin value between:   6 and 8 g/dL  
🗑
Alkaline electrophoresis will not separate hemoglobin C from:   Hemoglobin A2  
🗑
_____ is the second most common hemoglobin variant worldwide.   Hemoglobin E  
🗑
The qualitative hemoglobinopathies cause disease by producing hemoglobin chains that are:   structurally altered  
🗑
What clinical feature of sickle cell disease accounts for the highest number of hospital admissions?   Vaso-occlusion  
🗑
What percentage of African Americans have heterozygous sickle cell trait?   8%  
🗑
What is the probable etiologic association between malaria and sickle cell trait?   Sickle genes offers some protection against malaria.  
🗑
A patient has target cells and a positive tube solubility test. This patient probably:   has either sickle cell anemia or trait  
🗑
Moderate to marked target cells are found on a blood smear. Which of the following can most likely by eliminated? A. hemoglobin C disease B. Hereditary spherocytosis C. Hemoglobin E disease D. liver disease   B. Hereditary spherocytosis  
🗑
What is a typical finding in patients with hemoglobin M?   Elevated methemoglobin
