Final answer:
Classic CBC finding in hemolytic anemias: Special cells and Bilirubin (Options 1 and 3). The classic CBC findings in hemolytic anemias include special cells, such as red blood cells that release hemoglobin, leading to a pink solution. Haptoglobin, a protein that binds to free hemoglobin in the blood, may be decreased in hemolytic anemias. Increased production of bilirubin can also be seen in hemolytic anemias, causing jaundice.
Step-by-step explanation:
Red blood cells are good indicator cells to use when evaluating complement-mediated cytolysis.
Hemolysis of red blood cells releases hemoglobin, which is a brightly colored pigment, and hemolysis of even a small number of red cells will cause the solution to become noticeably pink.
Haptoglobin is a protein produced by the liver that binds to free hemoglobin in the blood, preventing its loss through urine.
In hemolytic anemias, haptoglobin levels may be decreased due to the increased destruction of red blood cells.
Bilirubin is a yellow pigment that is produced during the breakdown of hemoglobin. In hemolytic anemias, there is an increase in the production of bilirubin, resulting in jaundice.
Hence, the correct answers are Options 1 and 3.
