Thrombopoietin levels are very high in immune thrombocytopenic purpura and liver failure due to increased production to compensate for low platelet counts. Aplastic anemia results from impaired bone marrow function that decreases platelet production. Chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is commonly marked by easy bruising, epistaxis, and petechiae but subarachnoid hemorrhage is an uncommon finding.

1. Thrombopoietin (Tpo) is the primary regulator of
megakaryocyte growth and development. Very high levels of Tpo are seen which two of the following conditions? A.Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) B.Liver failure C.Aplastic anemia D.Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (CAMT)
2.Thrombotic thrombocytopenia is characterized by:
A.Low platelet count
B. Increased reticulocyte count C.Decreased platelet count D.A and B both 3. Aplastic anemia results in: A.Selective impairment of bonemarrow dysfunction B. Decreased platelet survival C. Increased megakaryopoeisis D. Decreased production of platelets
4. The uncommon finding of chronic idiopathic
thrombocytopenic purpura is: A. Easy bruising B.Epistaxis C. Subarachnoid hemorrhage D. Petechiae
