AB Hemolysis  can  be  mainly  intravascular  (ie,  hypotonic  lysis  or  heat  damage)  or  predominantly  extravascular  (ie,  arsine  gas  and  oxygen).Certain  drugs  can  induce  hemolysis  in  individuals  with  abnormalities  of  erythrocytic  enzymes,  such  as  glucose-6-phosphate  dehydrogenase,  or  with  an  unstable  hemoglobin  (see  Chaps.  14  and  17).  Such  drugs  can  also  cause  hemolysis  in  normal  individuals  if  given  in  sufficiently  large  doses.Other  drugs  induce  hemolytic  anemia  through  an  immunologic  mechanism  (see  Chap.  24).The  drugs  and  chemicals  discussed  here  cause  hemolysis  by  other  mechanisms.
