Prussian Blue stain of bone marrow aspirate indicates markedly elevated iron stores.
These laboratory results are MOST consistent with which of the following conditions?
A. Sideroblastic anemia
B. Anemia of chronic dz
C. Hemochromatosis
D. Megaloblastic anemia - answerC. Hemochromatosis

All of the following are associated with Hgb C disease, EXCEPT?
A. Hgb C Crystals
B. Target Cells
C. Lysine substituted for glutamic acid at the sixth position of the beta chain
D. Fast mobility of Hgb C at pH 8.6 - answerD. Fast mobility of Hgb C at pH 8.6
Hemoglobin C has a high positive charge and therefore has slow mobility on
electrophoresis using alkaline gel. Hemoglobin C migrates with hemoglobin A2 and
hemoglobin E on cellulose acetate electrophoresis at pH 8.6
When performing controls for the morning run in coagulation, the normal control is
within acceptable limits for both the PT and APTT, but the abnormal control is out of
range for both procedures. Which of the following would be an appropriate action to
take?
A. Document the out of range QC and continue with the morning run while reporting out
only those results that are in normal range
B. Continue with the morning run and report out only those results that fall within normal
range
C. Document QC, then repeat controls at the end of the morning run and report if both
controls are acceptable
D. Document QC, repeat the abnormal control, troubleshoot if necessary; report patient
results only when both controls are within acceptable ranges - answerDocument QC,
