What types of cells are present in Hodgkin's lymphoma?
RBC'S
Bence-Jones cells
Stem cells
Reed-Sternberg cell
The Correct Answer is D
A. RBC's: Red blood cells (RBCs) are not indicative of Hodgkin’s lymphoma; they are involved in oxygen transport throughout the body and are not a specific marker for any lymphoma.
B. Bence-Jones Cells: Bence-Jones proteins are light chain proteins found in the urine of patients with multiple myeloma, not Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
C. Stem Cells: Stem cells are progenitor cells that can develop into various blood cell types but are not characteristic of Hodgkin’s lymphoma specifically. Reed-Sternberg cells, not stem cells, are the hallmark of this disease.
D. Reed-Sternberg Cell: Reed-Sternberg cells are large, abnormal B cells that are characteristic of Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Their presence in lymph node tissue is a key diagnostic feature of the disease.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. WBCs: White blood cell counts may vary in multiple myeloma, but they are not typically increased; in fact, WBC counts can be low due to bone marrow crowding.
B. Calcium: Multiple myeloma often causes hypercalcemia because of increased bone breakdown, leading to the release of calcium into the bloodstream.
C. Absolute neutrophil count: The absolute neutrophil count may actually decrease as a result of bone marrow dysfunction, not increase.
D. Platelets: Platelet counts are often decreased in multiple myeloma due to bone marrow involvement, not increased.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. Progressive increase in platelet production: In DIC, platelets are rapidly consumed, not increased, due to widespread clotting in the blood vessels.
B. Excessive thrombosis and bleeding: DIC is a complex condition where there is widespread activation of the clotting cascade, leading to excessive clotting and subsequent depletion of platelets and clotting factors, resulting in both thrombosis and bleeding.
C. Immediate sodium and fluid retention: Sodium and fluid retention are not specific findings in DIC; they may occur in cases of renal or heart failure but are unrelated to the clotting issues in DIC.
D. Increased clotting factors: In DIC, clotting factors are depleted as they are used up in widespread clotting, leading to bleeding when factors are exhausted.
