hemolytic

Ruptures red cells

Hemolytic describes something that causes hemolysis—the destruction or rupture of red blood cells.

Hemolytic anemia occurs when red blood cells break down faster than the body can replace them.

A hemolytic reaction to a transfusion means the recipient's immune system is attacking the donated blood cells.
