Clinical Utilities
Determining whether hemolysis is occurring such as from:
-Transfusion reaction
-Mechanical fragmentation of red blood cells
-Relative comparison to baseline levels in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and centrifugal ventricular assist device (cVAD) patients to assess pump disruption
