Hemolysis (or haemolysis)—from the Latin Hemo-, meaning blood, -lysis, meaning to break open— is the breaking open of red blood cells and the release of hemoglobin into the surrounding fluid (plasma, in vivo).
In vivo hemolysis
In vivo hemolysis can be caused by one of a large number of conditions. Anemias caused by in vivo hemolysis are collectively called hemolytic anemias.
In vitro hemolysis
In vitro hemolysis can be an important unwanted effect in medical tests and can cause inaccurate results, because the contents of hemolysed red blood cells are included with the serum. The concentration of potassium inside red blood cells is much higher than in the serum and so an elevated potassium is usually found in biochemisty tests of hemolysed blood. If as little as 0.5% of the red blood cells are lysed the serum will have a visually obvious pinkish colour, due to hemoglobin. More on [ Hemolysis ]
