A member asked:

Two different blood tests listed slight hemolysis. doctor never mentioned it. just saw on blood test result printout. what does this mean? rest of blood test levels are normal.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Numbers are just...: Results are just numbers. Without the whole picture, such as why was labwork done, numbers cannot tell much. The "slight hemolysis" may be fine for a normal person with no symptoms and no reason for hemolysis, but one should still ask his ordering doctor if the result is ok in the setting of his whole picture. Doctor can decide if slight hemolysis has any effect on results (it usually does not).
