Alpha thalassemia is a hemolytic anemia. In most hemolytic anemias the LD and bilirubin are increased while the haptoglobin is decreased. However, because haptoglobin binds to the alpha chain portion of hemoglobin, it usually remains at normal levels due to the absence of alpha chains in the destroyed cells.
Which set of chemistry results would most likely occur during hemolytic crisis in alpha thalassemia intermedia?

What are the certification requirements for clinical laboratory professionals?

Skeletal deformations result from the increased erythropoiesis that occurs in beta thalassemia major. Children with beta thalassemia intermedia may demonstrate some facial bone deformity, however this is not common.
Beta thalassemia minor rarely causes any physical signs or symptoms and beta thalassemia minima is completely asymptomatic.
Skeletal deformations are most commonly present in which of the following beta thalassemias?
