FAQ
Who is at an increased risk of getting abnormal RBC fragility?
People with Vitamin B12 or folate deficiency are at an increased risk of abnormal RBC fragility.
Why is EDTA not used in the osmotic fragility test?
EDTA is not used in osmotic fragility tests because it binds metal ions, which can interfere with hemoglobin's ability to bind oxygen. Hence, it is difficult to accurately measure the osmotic fragility of the red blood cells.

Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers an Osmotic Fragility Test in Mahuva to determine the fragility of RBCs and diagnose hemolytic anemia and other related diseases of red blood cells.
Overview of Osmotic Fragility Test
The Osmotic Fragility Test measures the amount of hemolysis, that is the breakdown of red blood cells, in different concentrations of salt solutions.
Additionally, the Osmotic Fragility Test diagnoses several hereditary diseases, including sickle cell anemia, autoimmune diseases, thalassemia, and some forms of hemolytic anemia.
Book an Osmotic Fragility Test Near You to determine the efficacy of new treatments for health conditions such as thalassemia, hemolysis, and auto-immune diseases. You can rely on Sterling Accuris Diagnostics for an Osmotic Fragility Tests in Mahuva for accurate results.
Why and When is the Osmotic Fragility Test Done?
RBCs are responsible for carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body and transporting waste products outside the body. The osmolality of RBCs is essential for maintaining and regulating the amount of water and maintaining the balance of electrolytes and other substances in the blood.
Abnormalities in RBC osmolality can lead to serious health problems, including anemia, dehydration, and kidney damage. Hence. It is essential to monitor RBC osmolality, and the doctor will recommend Osmotic Fragility Test if a person exhibits symptoms like:
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Shortness of breath
- Pale Skin
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Cold hands and Feet
Osmotic Fragility Test: Main Highlights
- Instructions: No fasting is required
- Recommended age: All age group
- Sample Type: Blood Sample in Sodium Heparin (Leukemic Blood), Slide/Block
How to Interpret the Osmotic Fragility Test
The osmotic fragility test is used to determine RBC erythrocyte resistance to cell breakdown (hemolysis) when exposed to different levels of dilution of a saline solution (NaCl). Values for osmotic fragility testing differ across different laboratories. The reference values are:
- Hemolysis begins at 0.5% NaCl
- Hemolysis complete at 0.3% NaCl
Abnormally High Osmotic Fragility: This implies that the red blood cells are overly sensitive and prone to bursting when exposed to osmotic pressure, thereby indicating red blood cells disorder, such as sickle cell anemia or thalassemia
Abnormally Low Osmotic Fragility: This implies that the red blood cells are not easily damaged by the osmotic pressure, thereby indicating a hereditary disorder, such as spherocytosis or elliptocytosis.
Causative Factors of abnormal values:
- Age
- Dehydration
- Blood transfusions
- Environmental factors
- Blood sugar levels
- Blood pressure
- Genetic factors
