What hereditary red blood cell disorders may cause hemolysis?
GaleEncyofMedicine
There are many genetic mutations that affect the hemoglobin itself, the best-known of which is sickle cell disease. Such hereditary disorders as spherocytosis weaken the outer membrane of the red cell.

Cause of hemolysis?
Hemolysis can be caused by a variety of conditions such as Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Staphylococcus, Plasmodium, or genetic disorders.
What can cause normocytic anemia?
Normocytic anemia (normal MCV) can be caused by kidney and liver disease, bone marrow disorders, or excessive bleeding or hemolysis of the red blood cells.
Difference between alpha and beta hemolysis?
Hemolysis occurs when red blood cells rupture and really cytoplasm into surrounding fluid. Many species of Streptococcal bacteria cause hemolysis and are classified based on their properties. Alpha hemolysis oxidizes iron in hemoglobin, while beta hemolysis completely ruptures red blood cells.
Does 2 percent NaCl cause crenation or hemolysis in red blood cells?
crenation
What is the causes of haemolysis in newborn?
The usual cause of abnormal hemolysis in newborn is blood group incompatibility between mother and baby either Rh or ABO. Other causes are much less common-hereditary spherocytosis, thalassemia, G6PD deficiency etc.
Will a 2 percent solution of sodium chloride cause crenation or hemolysis of a red blood cell?
Crenation of course.
A organism grown on blood cause beta hemolysis can be considered?
group a Streptococcus pyogenes because its sensitive to Bacitracin.
Can hemolysis cause hypocalcemia?
yes
Problems with which part of the bone would lead to blood disorders?
Bone Marrow - Apex
Would hypertonic or hypotonic blood serum cause hemolysis?
If a cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, the water will flow into the cell causing it to swell and possibly lyse. If a cell is placed into a hypertonic solution, the water will flow out of the cell causing it to crenate. So hemolysis occurs when the red blood cells lyse.
What solution will cause hemolysis?
Hemolysis is the bursting of red blood cells (hemo- blood and lysis- bursting). There are three types of solutions that blood can be put into: hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic. The names of these give you some clue as to how the cell will behave in solution. Hypertonic solutions have greater osmotic pressure than the cells they contain, which will cause the cell to shrivel as its contents diffuse into the solution. Hypotonic solutions have less osmotic pressure than the cells inside of them, so the contents of solution will diffuse across the cell membrane and into the cell, eventually causing it to swell and burst (hemolysis). Isotonic solutions have osmotic pressure equal to that of the solutes they contain, so no net change is observed.
What happens when you mix red blood cells with dextrose water for transfusion?
clumping hemolysisDextrose % percent can alter red cell permeability and cause hemolysis
