Anemia in hypersplenism differs from anemia found in true hypoproliferative anemias because in hypersplenism, there is:
A) Reticulocytosis
B) Ineffective hematopoiesis
C) Dyshematopoiesis
D) Hypoplastic bone marrow

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In hypersplenism, the spleen prematurely destroys red blood cells, leading to anemia. However, the bone marrow compensates by increasing the production of new red blood cells, leading to reticulocytosis. In hypoproliferative anemias, there is a problem with the bone marrow's ability to produce new red blood cells, leading to ineffective hematopoiesis, dyshematopoiesis, and/or hypoplastic bone marrow.
