A 48-year-old woman of Mediterranean de- scent presents because of fatigue, arthralgias, discomfort in her right upper abdominal quad- rant, and polyuria. Laboratory tests are remark- able for elevated glucose level, elevated biliru- bin, low hemoglobin, elevated reticulocytes, and increased transferrin saturation. Cardiac testing shows moderate restrictive cardiomyop- athy. She frequently has required blood trans- fusions throughout her life. Which hereditary disorder does this patient most likely have?

A 66-year-old male patient with amyloidosis was admitted to the hospital with severe gastrointestinal bleeding. Admission laboratory data includes: Hgb 10 g/dL Hct 0.32 Platelet count: Adequate PT 45 sec APTT 95 sec Fibrinogen 400mg/dL Thrombin Time 5 sec PT 1:1 mix 13 sec APTT 1:1 mix 30 sec (4-12 sec) Rusell’s Viper venom time 55 sec (14-20 sec) What test result indicates factor deficiency and not the presence of circulating anticoagulant? If adsorbed plasma were used in the mixing studies what would be the expected result? Why both PT and APTT test are prolonged? What additional test should be done that would help in the diagnosis?
