Splenomegaly
B
Nucleated RBC in peripheral blood
C
Reticulocytopenia
D
Thrombocytopenia
High-Yield Explanation
In aplastic anemia destruction of hemopoietic stem cells occurs ,it results in reduced reticulocyte count. The bone marrow in aplastic anemia is markedly hypocellular, with greater than 90% of the interabecular space being occupied by fat. The limited cellularity often consists only of lymphocytes and plasma cells. Anemia may cause fatty change in the liver. Thrombocytopenia and granulocytopenia may result in hemorrhages and bacterial infections, respectively. The requirement for transfusions may eventually lead to hemosiderosis.
