Match the combination of globin chain to the hemoglobin type

The anemia associated with severe kidney disease is caused primarily by:

A man and woman are expecting a child next month.  The soon-to-be mom has sickle cell trait and the soon-to-be dad has sickle cell disease (phenotype SS).  What is the probability that the child produced will have the sickle cell trait? 

A patient waiting for a liver transplant is admitted to the local hospital.  Initial admission labs are drawn which show an MCHC of 41%.  A manual hematocrit is spun and the supernatant is green.  What is the erroneous CBC parameter and what would you do to correct it? 

Interpret the gel below.  What is the most likely patient population in lane 6?   

Refer to the chart below.  What is the most likely diagnosis associated with the values in Choice B? (Objective 10) Choice RBC Hgb Hct A 1.50 x 10^6/ul 6.5g/dl 18.3% B 4.50 x 10^6/ul 10.1 g/dl 30.2% C 3.00 x 10^6/ul 9.0 g/dl 27% D 3.25 x 10^6/ul 11.5 g/dl 34.5%

In Beta thalassemia, other globin chains combine with alpha chains to compensate for the decrease in the Beta chain production.  This increase is seen in an adult on electrophoresis as: 

G-6-PD deficiency usually does not cause a problem for a patient except when:
