Which of the Following is Common to All Forms of Anemia

Question

Which of the following is common to all forms of anemia?
A) Elevated WBC count
B) Thrombocytopenia
C) Low hematocrit
D) Leukocytosis

Accepted Answer

Anemia is a condition where there is a decrease in the number of red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood, leading to a reduced ability of the blood to carry oxygen. This results in a low hematocrit, which is the volume percentage of red blood cells in the blood. Elevated WBC count, thrombocytopenia, and leukocytosis are not common to all forms of anemia.
