Which manifestation is related to target organ disease from hypertension? Select all that apply.
One, some, or all responses may be correct.

Anemia.

Aneurysm.

Proteinuria.

Pneumonia.

Transient ischemic attack.

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : C,B

Choice A rationale:

Anemia is not a direct manifestation of target organ damage from hypertension.

Choice B rationale:

Aneurysm is a correct answer. Persistent high blood pressure can weaken the walls of arteries, making them more susceptible to forming an aneurysm. Aneurysms can occur in various arteries, such as the aorta, and can lead to life-threatening complications if they rupture.

Choice C rationale:

Proteinuria is also a correct answer. Hypertension can damage the kidneys, leading to proteinuria, the presence of excess proteins in the urine. This is an indication of kidney damage and is a common manifestation of hypertensive target organ disease.

Choice D rationale:

Pneumonia and Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) are not direct manifestations of target organ damage from hypertension.

Correct Answer is ["A","B","D"]

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Increased bilirubin levels can occur in thalassemia major due to the destruction of red blood cells, leading to elevated bilirubin, which is a breakdown product of hemoglobin. This elevation can contribute to jaundice and other symptoms.

Choice B rationale:

Thalassemia major leads to the destruction of red blood cells, causing the bone marrow to release more reticulocytes (immature red blood cells) into the bloodstream. Therefore, an increased reticulocyte level is expected in thalassemia major.

Choice C rationale:

Increased mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is not a typical finding in thalassemia major. Thalassemia major is characterized by microcytic (smaller than normal) red blood cells, leading to a decreased MCV.

Choice D rationale:

Thalassemia major causes increased iron absorption by the intestines, leading to elevated total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) TIBC measures the body's capacity to bind and transport iron in the blood, and elevated levels are seen in conditions with increased iron demand, such as thalassemia major.

A. Low level of hepcidin. B. Increase in iron-binding capacity. C. Decrease in intestinal absorption of iron. D. Decrease in erythropoietin secretion from the kidneys.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

A low level of hepcidin would not cause a decrease in hemoglobin levels. Hepcidin regulates iron homeostasis by inhibiting the absorption of iron from the intestines and promoting its storage in cells.

Choice B rationale:

An increase in iron-binding capacity typically occurs in conditions like iron deficiency anemia, where the body tries to increase its capacity to transport iron. This would not cause a low hemoglobin level in an otherwise healthy individual.

Choice C rationale:

Aging often leads to a decrease in the efficiency of nutrient absorption, including iron. This decrease in intestinal absorption of iron can result in low hemoglobin levels in elderly individuals. It's a common cause of anemia in the elderly population.

Choice D rationale:

Erythropoietin is a hormone produced by the kidneys that stimulates the production of red blood cells. A decrease in erythropoietin secretion from the kidneys would lead to anemia, but it is not a typical effect of aging and is usually associated with kidney disease.
