Autohemolysis test and correction test

Under normal conditions, the normal human heparin anticoagulant was left at 37 ° C for 24-48 hours, and the red blood cells were eventually destroyed due to energy consumption, that is, slight hemolysis occurred. After adding glucose and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), different degrees of correction can be obtained. This test is a more sensitive test for screening and identification of hemolytic anemia due to defective red blood cell membranes.
