Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer is Option A. Aplastic anemia.

Jaundice is of three types namely

  • prehepatic jaundice or hemolytic jaundice (Hence, Option B cannot be the right choice),
  • hepatic or hepatocellular jaundice (So, option D cannot be correct choice) and
  • post hepatic or obstructive jaundice (So, option C cannot be correct choice)

Aplastic anemia is caused due to bone marrow disorder where the erythrocytes are normocytic and normochromic. The red bone marrow is reduced and substituted by fatty tissues. Repeated exposure to radiation, bacterial toxins, quinine, gold salts, radium, benzene, tuberculosis, hepatitis, Human immunodeficiency virus infection are all related to be causative factors of aplastic anemia but not Jaundice. Hence, the correct answer is Aplastic anemia.

Why not other options?

Hemolytic anemia causes hemolytic jaundice due to excessive destruction of erythrocytes. Hence, Option B cannot be correct answer

Various infections (sepsis) like malaria, viral infections may also lead to jaundice. Hence, option C is not the correct answer.

Liver diseases are the cause of hepatocellular or cholestatic jaundice. Hence, option D is also not the correct answer.
