The basic metabolic panel demonstrates normal electrolytes and renal function. LFTs show total bilirubin 1.2 mg/dL and normal liver enzymes. On examination in office, his examination is normal, with no palpable lymph nodes or hepatosplenomegaly. He denies any B symptoms.

Which of the following is the next best step in the management of this patient? correct answers Observation and close follow up A 65-year-old woman presents with an 8-month history of recurrent low-grade fevers, a 3-month history of abdominal fullness, and more recently, fatigue and moderately reduced exercise tolerance.

She also had palpable splenomegaly. No other abdominal masses/hepatomegaly appreciated on examination. Her complete blood count showed a leukocyte count of 32,000/mm3, hemoglobin of 9.8 g/dL, platelet count of 145,000/mm3, neutrophil count 1,900/mm3, lymphocyte count 30,000/mm3, elevated LDH, and elevated reticulocyte count. Peripheral blood smear showed an increasing number of mature lymphocytes, spherocytes, and pol correct answers Autoimmune hemolytic anemia
