Hemolysis (or haemolysis in British English) is the breakdown of red blood cells. The ability of bacterial colonies to induce hemolysis when grown on blood agar is used to classify certain microorganisms. This is particularly useful in classifying streptococcal species.
Hemodialysis is a treatment that involves a pump that circulates a patient's blood through tubing to a semipermeable membrane and returns the blood to the patient. The patient's blood is on one side of the semipermeable membrane and the dialysate bath is on the other side. The dialysate both is made up of bicarbonate, treated water and acid concentrate. The acid concentrate contains specific concentrations of potassium, sodium, magnesium and other electrolytes as well as glucose.
