TOPIC 1: IRON METABOLISM AND ANEMIA
8 Questions • 8.0% of Exam • This topic covers laboratory findings and diagnostic criteria related to iron metabolism and various types
of anemia.
QUESTION 1
Which laboratory finding confirms iron-deficiency anemia?
[A] Elevated serum ferritin
[B] Decreased total iron-binding capacity
[C] Elevated total iron-binding capacity
[D] Increased mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration
Correct Answer: Elevated total iron-binding capacity.
Rationale: TIBC rises when iron stores are depleted, indicating iron deficiency.
QUESTION 2
Which vitamin deficiency causes macrocytic, megaloblastic anemia?
[A] Vitamin B12
[B] Vitamin C
[C] Vitamin D
[D] Vitamin K
Correct Answer: Vitamin B12.
Rationale: B12 deficiency impairs DNA synthesis, producing large, immature red cells.

QUESTION 3
Which lab values are decreased in iron-deficiency anemia? (Select all that apply)
[A] MCV
[B] MCH
[C] MCHC
[D] RDW
Correct Answer: MCV.
Rationale: Iron deficiency reduces hemoglobin content, lowering mean corpuscular volume.
QUESTION 4
Which mutation is characteristic of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (Lynch
syndrome)?
[A] APC
[B] MLH1
[C] KRAS
[D] SMAD4
Correct Answer: MLH1.
Rationale: DNA mismatch-repair gene MLH1 loss drives Lynch syndrome carcinogenesis.
QUESTION 5
Which oral anticoagulant requires routine INR monitoring?
[A] Dabigatran
[B] Rivaroxaban
[C] Warfarin
[D] Apixaban
Correct Answer: Warfarin.
Rationale: Warfarin's variable dose response necessitates frequent INR checks.
