Which type of hemolysis has rapid onset and can be isolated, episodic, or paroxysmal?
Acute hemolysis
Inherited hemolytic conditions are passed to offspring by mutant genes from the parents. Which type of inheritance requires 2 mutated genes coming from both parents?
Heterozygous inheritance
Which type of anemia classification involves an antibody triggering the RBC to be hemolyzed upon exposure to cold temperature?
Intrinsic versus extrinsic
Which type of hemolysis may not be evident if the bone marrow is able to compensate, but may be punctuated over time with hemolytic crises?
Chronic hemolysis
Which type of anemia classification involves an agent or condition that lyses RBCs in individuals who were previously hematologically normal?
Inherited versus acquired
Chronic hemolysis is always evident and can be easily diagnosed.
False
Inherited hemolytic conditions can only be passed through homozygous inheritance.
False
Acquired hemolytic disorders only develop in individuals who were previously hematologically abnormal.
False
