- Microcytic hypochromic anaemias is a feature of all these except:
- Iron deficiency anemia
- Thalassaemias
- Sideroblastic anemias
- Acute blood loss
- Chronic blood loss
- Causes of microcytic hypochromic anemias include all of the following except:
- Sideroblastic anemia
- Autoimmune hemolytic anemia
- Iron deficiency anemia
- Anemia of chronic disorders
- Thalassemias
- Microcytic hypochromic anaemias is NOT found in one of the following conditions:
- Thalassemia
- Sideroblastic anemia
- Iron deficiency anemia
- Anemia of chronic disorders
- Autoimmune hemolytic anemia
- All these findings help in the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia except:
- Decreased iron stores
- Decreased TIBC
- Decreased serum iron
- Decreased transferrin saturation index
- Decreased serum ferritin level
- Regarding the iron status in iron deficiency, which of the following is false:
- Decreased serum iron
- Increased TIBC
- Decreased serum ferritin
- Increased transferrin saturation index
- Decreased BM iron stores
- Which of the following parameters reflects iron stores:
- Serum iron
- TIBC
- RDW
- % saturation of transferrin
- Serum ferritin
- All of the following investigate iron status except:
- Serum iron
- TIBC
- RDW
- % saturation of transferrin
- Serum ferritin
- Serum iron decreases in:
- ß thalassaemia major
- ß thalassaemia minor
- Sideroblastic anemia
- Anemia of chronic disorders
- All of the above
- Hypochromic anemia is present in all of the following except:
- Thalassemia major
- Anemia of chronic disorders
- Sideroblastic anemia
- Lead poisoning
- Congenital spherocytosis
- In iron deficiency anemia, all of the following is true except:
- Decreased serum iron
- Increased MCV
- Decreased serum ferritin
- Decreased transferrin saturation index
- Decreased BM iron stores
- To detect the cause of the iron deficiency anemia, which of the following is done?
- Stool analysis for parasites
- Stool analysis for occult blood
- Urine analysis for hematuria
- All of the above
- All these can be used for diagnosis of ß thalassemia major except:
- Increased serum iron level
- Increased TIBC
- Increased transferrin saturation index
- Increased serum ferritin level
- Increased Hb F level
- ß thalassemia major is characterized by all of the following except:
- Severe anemia (microcytic hypochromic)
- Leucocyte and platelet counts are normal
- Effective erythropoiesis
- Shortened red cell life span
- Hb electrophoresis shows: increased HbF, HbA2 is normal or high
- α thalassemia is characterized by which of these phenotypic categories:
