Question
Sickle cell anemia and thalassemia are examples of _____ anemia.
Group of answer choices
- aplastic
- pernicious
- hemorrhagic
- hemolytic
Solution
Understanding the Question
The question is asking to identify a specific type of anemia that includes sickle cell anemia and thalassemia.
Analyzing the Options
- Aplastic Anemia: A condition where the bone marrow fails to produce enough blood cells.
- Pernicious Anemia: A type of anemia where the body can't make enough healthy red blood cells due to a lack of vitamin B12.
- Hemorrhagic Anemia: Caused by severe blood loss.
- Hemolytic Anemia: This involves the destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis) faster than the body can make them.
Identifying the Correct Answer
Sickle cell anemia and thalassemia both result from the abnormal production of hemoglobin, leading to premature destruction of red blood cells.
Final Answer
Hemolytic anemia.
