What are the initial laboratory tests that are performed for the diagnosis of anemia

An increased in which one of the following suggests a shorted life span of RBCs and hemolytic anemia?

An autoimmune reaction destroys the hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow of a young adult patient, and the amount of active bone marrow, including erythroid precursors, is diminished. Erythroid precursor that are present are normal in appearance, but there are too few to meet the demand for circulating red blood cells, and anemia develops. The reticulocyte count is low. The mechanism of the anemia would be described as

Which of the following are important to consider in the patient’s history when investigating the cause of an anemia?

To determine which of the following condition would be included in the differential diagnosis of an anemic adult patient with an absolute reticulocyte count of 20 3 109 /L and an MVC of 65fL

Which one of the ff is reduced as an adaptation to long-standing anemia

Which of the following findings is consistent with a

diagnosis of megaloblastic anemia?

A patient has a clinical picture of megaloblastic anemia.

The serum folate level is decreased, and the serum vitamin

B12 level is 600 pg/mL (reference interval is 200 to 900

pg/mL). What is the expected value for the methylmalonic

acid assay?

Which one of the following statements characterizes the

relationships among macrocytic anemia, megaloblastic

anemia, and pernicious anemia?

Which of the following CBC findings is most suggestive

of a megaloblastic anemia?

In the following description of a bone marrow smear, find

the statement that is inconsistent with the expected picture

in megaloblastic anemia. “The marrow appears

hypercellular with a myeloid-to-erythroid ratio of 1:1 due to

prominent erythroid hyperplasia. Megakaryocytes appear

normal in number and appearance. WBC elements appear

larger than normal, with especially large metamyelocytes,

although they otherwise appear morphologically normal.

Erythroid precursors also appear large. There is

nuclear-cytoplasmic asynchrony, with the nucleus appearing more mature than expected for the color of the cytoplasm.”
