When a blood sample is hemolyzed, it means the red cells have ruptured to the extent that they impart a pink/red color to the blood plasma, which is normally pale yellow. By comparison, gross hemolysis describes a plasma sample as intensely red as cherry-flavored gelatin. The red color is due to hemoglobin.
Hemolysis can occur during suboptimal blood collection, or in vitro (e.g. in the collection tube) due to improper handling, transport, and storage. The amount of hemolysis needed to affect a test is dependent on the test being performed. In general. slight hemolysis has little effect on most tests; however, it will cause increased test results for specific tests like potassium and lactate dehydrogenase (see table below).
