Question

Rapid hemolysis causes
A) hypoxemia and cyanosis.
B) thrombocytopenia and bleeding.
C) hyperbilirubinemia and jaundice.

Accepted Answer

Rapid hemolysis leads to the breakdown of red blood cells and release of hemoglobin, which is then metabolized into bilirubin. This causes an increase in bilirubin levels in the bloodstream, leading to hyperbilirubinemia and jaundice.
