AB - Abstract In the clinical laboratory, hemolyzed samples are common enough to warrant a way of salvaging the sample for analysis. By determining the amount of hemoglobin in the hemolyzed sample and using a calculated correction factor, we were able to approximate the results in nonhemolyzed samples. Paired samples, nonhemolyzed and mechanically hemolyzed, were run for 23 tests on the Abbott Spectrum Analyzer. By dividing the difference of the nonhemolyzed and hemolyzed results by the serum hemoglobin concentration of the hemolyzed sample, we obtained a correction factor for each analyte that is significantly affected by hemolysis.
