KROK 1 2014 – Question 42 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathophysiology
Examination of a 52-year-old female patient has revealed a decrease in the amount of red blood cells and an increase in free hemoglobin in the blood plasma (hemoglobinemia). Color index is 0,85. What type of anemia is being observed in the patient?
- A. Hereditary hemolytic
- B. Acquired hemolytic
- C. Acute hemorrhagic
- D. Chronic hemorrhagic
- E. Anemia due to erythropoiesis diminished
Hint
Decide from the free hemoglobin in plasma whether red cells are being lost by bleeding, destroyed or under-produced, then use the patient's age to think about an inborn versus a later-onset cause.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
