Hemolysis is a ubiquitous pathology defined as premature red blood cell destruction within the circulation or local tissues. One of the most archetypal functions of macrophages is phagocytosis of damaged or extravasated red blood cells, preventing the extracellular release of toxic hemoglobin and heme.
