What are the items included in the hemolysis test?
Disease description:
Recently, the company organized a physical examination, and they mentioned a blood hemolysis test. May I ask, what are the specific items included in the blood hemolysis test?
The hemolysis examination mainly includes the following items:
1. Complete blood count (CBC): Preliminary assessment of anemia and hemolysis by measuring red blood cell count and hemoglobin concentration.
2. Reticulocyte count: Reflects red blood cell production in the bone marrow, helping to determine the cause of hemolysis.
3. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR): Reflects the rate at which red blood cells settle in the bloodstream, aiding in assessing the severity of hemolysis.
4. Direct antiglobulin test (DAT): Detects the binding of autoantibodies to antigens on the surface of red blood cells, assisting in the diagnosis of immune-mediated hemolysis.
5. Urinalysis: Detects the presence of hemoglobin in urine to determine whether hemolytic jaundice exists.
6. Liver function tests: Assessing the presence of hemolytic jaundice based on bilirubin levels.
