Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

that the bridegroom rubs for a blood test Hb 12.8 g/dl, Hct 35.6%, MCV 76.1 fl, RDW 17.1%OF +ve, DCIP +veHb typing:HbA 59.8%, HbE 32.1%, HbF 0.9%

A	Not a thalassemia carrier
B	Being an alpha thalassemia carrier
C	Being a beta thalassemia carrier
D	are carriers of both alpha and beta thalassemia types

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -a high RDW and low MCV suggests iron deficiency or microcytic anemia.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) calculated as: Hct (%) × 10/RBC count (million/L) where Hct is hematocrit, the proportion of blood volume occupied by packed RBC. MCV indicates average RBC volume. Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) calculated as: Hb (g/dL) × 10/RBC count (million/L).

Detailed explanation-3: -To have low MCV and MCH means your hemoglobin production is less than normal. As a result, the number of healthy red blood cells also decreases, leading to anemia. Although anemia is generally not a cause of serious health complications, it becomes a concern when left untreated.
