Abnormal destruction of erythrocytes, or red blood cells, leads to a condition known as hemolytic anemia. This results in a decreased number of circulating red blood cells, causing symptoms such as fatigue, pallor, and shortness of breath due to reduced oxygen delivery to tissues. Additionally, the breakdown of hemoglobin from destroyed erythrocytes can increase levels of bilirubin, potentially leading to jaundice. The body may also respond by increasing erythropoiesis, attempting to compensate for the loss of red blood cells.

Reticulocytosis is an abnormal increase in the number of reticulocytes, or immature erythrocytes (red blood cells).
Hemolysis is the destruction of red blood cells or Erythrocytes with a release of hemoglobin that diffuses into the surrounding fluid.
The sequestration and destruction of aged erythrocytes primarily occur in the spleen and liver. In the spleen, macrophages phagocytize old or damaged red blood cells, breaking them down and recycling their components, such as iron. The liver also plays a role in this process by filtering blood and aiding in the metabolism of hemoglobin. Together, these organs ensure the efficient removal of senescent erythrocytes from circulation.
Urethrostenosis is abnormal narrowing of the urethra.
Any abnormal laboratory testing result is that one which is not according to standard levels. However, an abnormal result doesn't mean that it is serious, unless such result is too high or too low.
An astrogliosis is an abnormal increase in the number of astrocytes due to the destruction of neurons.
An astrocytosis is an abnormal increase in the number of astrocytes due to the destruction of neurons.
This process is called cryotherapy. Liquid nitrogen is applied to the abnormal tissue cells to freeze and destroy them. As a result, the cells are eliminated, which helps to remove warts and tumors.
Erythrocytes (red blood cells) in urine are typically assessed during a urinalysis. A count of 3-4 erythrocytes per high-power field (hpf) can be considered abnormal, as the normal range is usually 0-2 hpf. The presence of more erythrocytes may indicate conditions such as hematuria, infection, or kidney issues. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation if this finding is noted.

CFC's result in ozone destruction. They react with ozone and deplete it.
