Explanation

Hemolysis is a medical term that refers to the process where red blood cells break down. This can happen naturally in the body, but it can also be caused by certain diseases or conditions. When red blood cells break down, they release a substance called hemoglobin, which can cause problems if there's too much in the body. Hemolysis can lead to conditions like anemia, where the body doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells.
