Talk:Hemolysis

Spelling: UK or USA
This article has be re-named "Hemolysis", and spelling changed to match: the alternative spelling "Haemolysis" is rarer: Google says 44,000 hits for Hemolysis vs. 7,300 for Haemolysis. Medline also says "Hemolysis". The Anome 07:43 27 May 2003 (UTC)
 * Well, everywhere in the article it is reffered to (and anywhere else I've come across "haem" in Wikipedia) it is called haemolysis not hemolysis. Perhaps, since haemolysis is the "correct" (en:GB) spelling, hemolysis should just redirect here? --theKeeper (talk) 08:37, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

There is no such word as artefactual.

Current medical technician text books used in the US use the US spelling. Accepted practice within US medical laboratories is to use the US spelling. I'm sure that the same is true for the UK. So, both ways of spelling must be acceptable and both names should link to the same article, but for consistency's sake only one should be used in the wiki article with an explaination that both spellings are correct. --Comment added by NjgMFDrugLab 15:02, 25 February 2009

Is Diabetes a cause of haemolysis?
Diabetes is not a cause of haemolysis in the absence of favism, so I have deleted this as a cause on this page. It might go on the favism page. Diabetic ketoacidosis may cause some haemolysis in G6PD (favism), but this is not due to blood sugar is is due to favism (according to a my data search). Snowman 16:36, 20 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Diabeted ketoacidosis added to favism page. Snowman 15:18, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Do red blood cells break in pysiological hypertonic solutions?
RBCs become crenated in hypertonic solutions and I do not think that they burst even in sugar diabetis. Hypotonic solutions (probably beyond physiological limits) may burst RBSs as water goes into the RBC and bursts them. Some animals (lamas) that live in dry conditions and drink a lot of water when they have a chance to drink have ellipocytes which resist bursting in a wide range of osmotic conditions.

Hemolysis in microbiology
This has its own page called hemolysis (microbiology). Link added to the article page to this detailed page. Snowman 08:26, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency
During WWII, American soldiers were given primaquine, an antimalarial prophylaxis. Many African American soldiers developed hemolysis from it. It was later realized that people of African decent tend to have a genetic deficiency in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. The deficiency was frequent in Africans because it protected the carrier from malaria, but the deficiency is rare in people from regions without malaria
 * There is a page on Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (also called favism). There will be a link to it on the main page, hemolytic anaemia. Snowman 10:45, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

What the heck is wrong with this article?!
The main body is corrupted, the first section is only two sentences long, and the picture makes no sense! It almost looks like vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.14.28.144 (talk) 22:09, 21 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Hyperhemolytic syndrome should link to its own page. Hyperhemolysis syndrome occurs after RBC transfusion.  The page doesn't really tell you anything about hyperhemolysis syndrome. 108.56.191.243 (talk) 19:08, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Diagnosis
We should add a diagnostic work-up section, such as checking reticulocyte count & index, LDH, haptoglobin, peripheral smear, coombs' testing, BUN/Cr, LFTs, TFTs, potentially hemoglobin electrophoresis, cold agglutinins, G6PD deficiency, bone marrow biopsy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.212.71.200 (talk) 14:53, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Then what?
Article says plenty about what can cause hemolysis, but nothing about what happens to a person who suffers it. 174.30.207.152 (talk) 06:27, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Hemolysis as complication of transcatheter closure of Patent Ductus Arteriosis
Article: "Patent Ductus Arteriosis / Circulation", www.ahajournals.org 24 October 2006 Douglas J. Schneider MD & John W. Moore MD MPH, toward the end of the article, section on transcatheter closure, mentions hemolysis as a complication to PDA closure: "hemolysis from high-velocity residual shunting" Sudzydoogiedawg (talk) 07:52, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
