Erythropoiesis Disorders Quiz

Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to macrocytic anemia.

Folate deficiency can result in microcytic anemia.

In macrocytic anemia, there are only small cells present.

The reticulocyte count is a useful tool to assess the erythropoietic activity of the bone marrow.

Myelodysplasia can lead to normocytic, normochromic anemia.

New methylene blue is a stain used to observe reticulocytes in usual staining techniques like Wright stains.

Erythroleukemia is a type of microcytic anemia.

The normal percentage of reticulocytes in circulation ranges from 0.5% to 2.0%.

Macrocytic anemia is characterized by RPI less than 2.0.

Reticulocytes are nucleated red blood cells.

RPI greater than 3.0 is commonly observed in hemolytic anemia.

Increased RDW is not associated with macrocytic anemia.

Vitamin B12 deficiency is classified as a type of macrocytic anemia.

Folate deficiency is classified as a type of microcytic anemia.

Myelodysplasia is classified as a type of macrocytic anemia.

Erythroleukemia is classified as a type of macrocytic anemia.

Macrocytic anemia is always caused by megaloblastic red cell development in the bone marrow.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can result in macrocytic anemia characterized by impaired DNA synthesis.

Folate deficiency causes microcytic and hypochromic anemia with increased MCHC.

Myelodysplasia can lead to various types of anemia, including macrocytic and microcytic types.

Erythroleukemia can cause abnormal erythroblast development leading to macrocytic anemia.

Macrocytic anemia is always indicative of megaloblastic red cell development in the bone marrow.
