Haemolysis (or hemolysis) is the rupturing of red blood cells which releases haemoglobin (hemoglobin).

This term refers to the rupturing of any red blood cell, not specifically worn-out ones (in many disease-states healthy red blood cells undergo haemolysis).

Eryptosis is the term used for the programmed death of red blood cells. This is the normal process for worn-out red blood cells. It involves phagocytosis by macrophages in the spleen, liver and/or bone marrow.
