@uzairtariq ans the q
*ATTN* nb1 Q*************** A 33 y/o M has had malaise, a low grade fever, and a 4-5kg/10lb weight loss over the past 90 days. He has unilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. Laboratory studies show: Hb: 11g/dL Hct: 33% MCV: 80 Reticulocyte count 0.5% Serum iron: 25 TIBC: 150 (N=250-460) Examination of tissue obtained on biopsy of a lymph node shows Hodgkin's disease, nodular sclerosing type. The most likely cause of the anemia is a)Extravascular hemolysis b)Folate deficiency c)Iron deficiency d)Abnormal utilization of iron e)Marrow aplasia

"D"
inflammation can lead to release of hepcidin and preventing the iron release from macrophages and its transport

i'm confused regarding extravascular hemolysis
as Fe is decreased too
