- The rupturing of red blood cells and the spilling of their contents into the surrounding fluid is referred to as hemolysis or haemolysis .
- In vivo and in vitro hemolysis are both possible (inside or outside the body).
- The activity of hemolysins, poisons generated by some pathogenic bacteria and fungi, is one cause of hemolysis.
- Excessive physical activity is another factor.
- Hemolysins cause lysis and eventual cell death by damaging the cytoplasmic membrane of red blood cells.
