Which of the following underlying conditions may be associated with very elevated haemoglobin? A) Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus B) Thalassemia minor C) Chronic Renal failure D) Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Understand the Problem

The question is asking which of the listed underlying conditions may lead to very elevated levels of haemoglobin. This implies a need to understand the medical pathophysiology behind each condition and how they might influence haemoglobin levels.

Answer

D) Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

The final answer is D) Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is D) Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

More Information

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) can lead to hypoxia, which stimulates the production of more red blood cells to increase oxygen transport, causing elevated hemoglobin levels.

Tips

A common mistake is to confuse conditions that may cause anemia (like renal failure) with those that cause elevated hemoglobin.
