Haemolysis is when red blood cells are broken open so that the cytoplasm within them is released into the bloodstream. It can occur in humans as a result of several different medical problems.

What will excessive squeezing around a capillary puncture site cause?

Excessive squeezing will cause haemolysis of the sample, i.e., the rupture of red blood cells, thus releasing their content (Hb and electrolytes) into the plasma. Haemolysis will alter potassium, ionised calcium (ICa), phosphate and enzymes. If gross haemolysis occurs, all results may be affected, due to a dilution of the sample by dissolved haemoglobin. Tissue fluid (resulting in increased potassium levels) may also contaminate the blood sample if you squeeze too hard.

Erythrocytes show various form of haemolysis in a hypotonic solution?

rbcs usually becomes swollen or haemolyse in hypotonic solution, this is due to osmosis. In this case, the concentration of solute is more inside the rbc, hence it exerts osmotic pressure which draws water from lower osmotic solution. The rbc swells to its limit because of its biconcave structure and burst after crossing its limit (haemolysis)

Why might haemolysis of blood samples occur?

The disruption of red blood cell and release of their haemoglobin. There are several types of haemolytic reactions when bacteria such as streptococci or staphylococcus grow on blood agar.


Explain the meaning of Haemolysis and crenation?

Haemolysis is the breaking open of red blood cells and the release of hemoglobin into the surrounding fluid . Crenationis the contraction or formation of abnormal notchings around the edges of a cell after exposure to a hypertonic solution, due to the loss of water through osmosis.Crenation occurs because in a hypertonic environment, (that is, the cell has a lower concentration of solutes than the surrounding extracellular fluid), osmosis (the diffusion of water) causes a net movement of water out of the cell, causing the cytoplasm to decrease in its volume. As a result the cell shrinks.
