Abstract
Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is the most common cause of hemolytic anemia of varying severity can lead to complications such as cholelithiasis, sepsis, etc. Difficulties in diagnosis are asymptomatic and atypical cases HS. It is important to search methods that can detect microspherocytic anemia.
The article describes the technique of acidified glycerol lysis test (AGLT), the results and analytical characteristics of the method. Presents a refined acidified glycerol lysis test (AGLT) with incubated blood performed on the automatic biochemical analyzer with a graphical check of the lysis of erythrocytes is a sensitive, fast and reliable method of identification of HS and can be used in clinical diagnostic laboratories.
