Blood sample hemolysis remains a persistent challenge in clinical laboratories, where the inadvertent rupture of erythrocytes can lead to the release of intracellular components that interfere with ...

Hemolysis is the #1 source of preanalytical error and can impact potassium results—potentially leading to inappropriate or delayed patient treatment, unnecessary ...

Hemolysis of serum and plasma samples is a common problem in veterinary diagnostic laboratories. We measured the effects of hemolysis on nine plasma analytes in 10 clinically normal common green ...

The figure focuses on complement activation by means of the alternative pathway because it is the one responsible for hemolysis in PNH. The lightning bolt symbolizes the spontaneous hydrolytic ...

Infections and other diseases can cause red blood cells to rupture, releasing the oxygen-binding molecule hemoglobin, which breaks down into heme. Free heme can cause significant inflammation and ...

TREATMENT of infection often necessitates the use of drugs that can cause hemolytic reactions in patients with erythrocytes deficient in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD). Nitrofurantoin and ...
