How to treat blood hemolysis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Please clarify: If you received a lab result of "specimen hemolyzed", then the problem was with the way in which the sample was collected and/or transported to the lab and has no implications for your health beyond making the results less reliable. If you have ongoing hemolysis of you blood cells, you will need to find the cause (many possible) with your physician; perhaps it can be treated. Good luck.

On multiple blood tests, there is a note of slight hemolysis. Is this a diagnosis or something I have, or more about the actual blood sample? Just trying to figure out if it's a health concern.
