B) Hormonal diseases
C) Autoimmune diseases
D) Hereditary diseases
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Chronic anemia and multiple sclerosis are both associated with the body’s immune response, but they manifest in different ways. Chronic anemia can occur as a result of long-term health conditions that affect your body’s ability to produce red blood cells.
These health conditions can include autoimmune disorders and inflammatory diseases.
On the other hand, multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune and inflammatory neurological disease. It results from demyelination in the central nervous system.
The relationship between MS and anemia is complex and not fully understood, but studies have found that anemia is approximately twice as likely in people with MS than in the general population.
Therefore, both chronic anemia and multiple sclerosis can be classified as C) Autoimmune diseases.
