Graves disease is an autoimmune disease that results in which
maternal antibody?
a. binding with receptors for neural transmitters on muscle cells,
causing neonatal muscular weakness
b. affecting the receptor for TSH, causing neonatal
hyperthyroidism
c. Inducing anomalies in the fetus or causing pregnancy loss
d. destroying platelets in the fetus and neonate - ANSWER-ANS:
B
Graves disease is an autoimmune disease in which maternal
antibody against the receptor for TSH causes neonatal
hyperthyroidism. Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune
disease in which maternal antibody binds with receptors for
neural transmitters on muscle cells (acetylcholine receptors),
causing neonatal muscular weakness. Systemic lupus
erythematosus is an autoimmune disease in which diverse
maternal autoantibodies induce anomalies (e.g., congenital
heart defects) in the fetus or cause pregnancy loss. Immune

thrombocytopenic purpura causes both autoimmune and
alloimmune variants to occur, during which maternal
antiplatelet antibody destroys platelets in the fetus and
neonate.
Which disorders are considered autoimmune? (Select all that
apply.)
a. Crohn disease
b. Addison disease
c. Rheumatoid arthritis
d. Systemic lupus erythematosus
e. noninsulin-dependent diabetes - ANSWER-ANS: A, B, C, D
Crohn disease, Addison disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and
systemic lupus erythematosus are all diseases that result
from autoimmune pathologic conditions. Insulin-dependent
diabetes is also an autoimmune disorder, but noninsulin-
dependent diabetes is not.
What is the most common pathophysiologic process that triggers
aplastic anemia (AA)?
,3|Page
a. autoimmune disease against hematopoiesis by activated
cytotoxic T (Tc) cells
b. Malignancy of the bone marrow in which unregulated
proliferation of erythrocytes crowd out other blood cells
c. autoimmune disease against hematopoiesis by activated
immunoglobulins
d. Inherited genetic disorder with recessive X-linked transmission
- ANSWER-ANS: A
Most cases of AA result from an autoimmune disease
directed against hematopoietic stem cells. Tc cells appear to
be the main culprits. None of the remaining options is
considered a common trigger of AA.
Which statement is true regarding warm autoimmune hemolytic
anemia?
a. warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia occurs primarily in men
b. it is self-limiting and rarely produces hemolysis
c. erythrocytes are bound to macrophages and sequestered in the
spleen
, 4|Page
d. Immunoglobulin M coats erythrocytes and binds them to
receptors on monocytes - ANSWER-ANS: C
The immunoglobulin G-coated red blood cells bind to the Fc
receptors on monocytes and splenic macrophages and are
removed by phagocytosis. The other options are not true
when considering this type of anemia.
When considering hemolytic anemia, which statement is true
regarding the occurrence of jaundice?
a. erythrocytes are destroyed in the spleen
b. Heme destruction exceeds the livers ability to comjugate and
excrete bilirubin
c. The patient has elevations in aspartate transaminase (AST)
and alanine transaminase (ALT)
d. The erythrocytes are coated with an immunoglobulin -
ANSWER-ANS: B
Jaundice (icterus) is present when heme destruction exceeds
the liver's ability to conjugate and excrete bilirubin. This
selection is the only option that accurately describes the
process that affects the occurrence of hemolytic anemia-
related jaundice.
