What does Osmotic Fragility measure?

The Osmotic Fragility test measures how easily red blood cells rupture (hemolyze) when exposed to increasingly diluted salt (hypotonic) solutions. Healthy RBCs can swell to a certain extent without bursting, but fragile or structurally abnormal RBCs break down at higher salt concentrations than normal. By analyzing the degree of hemolysis, the test helps doctors detect red cell membrane abnormalities and evaluate the severity of blood disorders that cause premature destruction of RBCs
