Name that Anemia
This microcytic anemia is diagnosed by low ferritin levels and an elevated transferrin/TIBC level
What is iron deficiency anemia?
This enzyme is the rate limiting step in heme synthesis
On ultrasounds, blood clots are grey-appearing echogenic solids, but blood is an anechoic fluid that appears this color
What is black?
These are the primary lymphoid organs
What are the bone marrow and thymus?
Hodgkin's lymphoma can be diagnosed by the presence of these "owl eye" looking cells
What are Reed-Sternberg cells?
Hypersegmented neutrophils are seen in this anemia caused by vitamin deficiencies
What is megaloblastic anemia?
(Folate and B12 deficiencies)
Added to iron to make heme, this molecule is implicated in a "royal" disease
What is Protoporphyrin IX?
Symptomatic patients with hyponatremia (seizures) should receive this IV fluid
What is hypertonic saline (3%)?
Positive selection of T cells takes place in this part of the thymus
What is the cortex?
Annexin is the most specific marker for this CD103+ leukemia
What is hairy cell leukemia?
The acute-phase reactant ferritin is commonly elevated in hospitalized patients with this anemia

What is Nodular Lymphocyte Predominant Hodgkin Lymphoma (NLPHL)?
An ALA synthase gene defect or alcohol use disorder causes iron trapping inside the mitochondria in this normocytic anemia
What is sideroblastic anemia?
While HbS has a Glu -> Val mutation, HbC mutates from Glu to this amino acid, making it less mobile on alkaline gel electrophoresis
