| Intravascular hemolysis is the destruction of red blood cells in the circulation with the release of cell contents into the plasma. |
| In cases of severe intravascular hemolysis, the binding capacity of haptoglobin is exceeded rapidly, and free hemoglobin is filtered by the glomeruli. |
| The severity of erythroblastosis fetalis varies depending on the degree of hemolysis. |
| Not all patients who develop the antibody will undergo red blood cell hemolysis. |
| Chronic inhalation abuse may also cause bone marrow depression resulting in leukopenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukemia, and hemolysis. |
