Abstract
The ionic hemolysis in healthy babies during the first year of life was studied. The hemolysis in low as well as high ionic strength was observed. It was found that the hemolysis in low ionic strength is lower during the first year of life in comparison with adults. However, hemolysis in high ionic strength was significantly lower only between 1–15 days old newborns. The ionic hemolysis in relation to the other biophysical factors in newborns is discussed.
