Relevant risk context includes recent heparin exposure. What is the most likely diagnosis? A. Iron deficiency anemia B. Immune thrombocytopenia C. Disseminated intravascular coagulation D. Acute leukemia E. Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia Show Answer & Explanation Correct Answer: B Explanation: The pattern of macrocytosis with neuropathy with risk factors such as recent heparin exposure is most consistent with Immune thrombocytopenia.
