What does "slt hemolysis" mean- this is the first labwork that has said that. i am. gist sarcoma patient currently on gleevec (imatinib) with ned. thanks.

Slight hemolysis: "slt hemolysis" on a blood test is an abbreviation for slight hemolysis which means that some of your red blood cells have broken down into fragments and are no longer working. This can be caused by many different things including infection, medications, cancer, and many different diseases. A common cause is poor blooding drawing technique where the needle causes the red blood cell to fragment.

I'd bet it means : "slight hemolysis", an artifact of blooddrawing that effects certain results, but possibly not others. It would explain why k+/potassium was high, or ldh. Just get it re-drawn and ask your docotr.
