After normal human heparin-anticoagulated blood is placed in a 37°C environment for 24-48 hours, red blood cells are eventually destroyed due to energy consumption, that is, slight hemolysis occurs. When glucose and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) are added, different degrees of correction can be obtained
For the cause diagnosis of hemolytic anemia
(1) Hereditary spherocytosis is significantly increased and can be corrected with glucose and ATP.
(2) Other hereditary non-spherocyte hemolytic anemias can also be increased and can be corrected by glucose or ATP respectively.
