Q

target cells are associated with

A

iron deficiency
thalassemia

171
Q

spherocytes are associated with

A

hereditary spherocytosis
autoimmune hemolytic anemia

172
Q

teardrop cells are associated with

A

bone marrow fibrosis

173
Q

hexagonal crystals

A

Hgb C

174
Q

elevation of HbA2 and HbF is consistent with

A

beta thalassemia

175
Q

elevated LDH
elevated serum bilirubin
decreased serum haptoglobin

A

think hemolytic anemia

176
Q

who establishes the threshold for critical values

A

healthcare organizations themselves

177
Q

bite cells

A

G6PD

178
Q

acquired PIGA mutations are associated with

A

PNH

179
Q

what can be done to decreases the severity of a sickling crisis?

A

decrease the proportion of HbS
-transfuse normal RBCs
-give drugs to enhance HbF production

180
Q

tetramers of beta globin chains

A

HbH

a thalassemia

181
Q

if a child inherits a bS gene from one parent and a b0 gene from another they will have

A

sickle cell

the b0 is nonfunctional, so the only beta globin produced will come from the bS gene

182
Q

if the patients screen is positive at AHG

A

probably have warm AIHA
proceed to 10 or 11 panel to identify

183
Q

forward type reaction with anti B indicates

A

Group B

184
Q

reverse type reaction with A1 indicates

A

anti A in plasma

sample is not group A blood

185
Q

reaction with anti D indicates

A

Rh positive

186
Q

among patients with sickle cell, which blood group system shows the greatest degree of genetic variation?

A

Rh

187
Q

allosteric inhibitor of HbS polymerization

A
