A 5-year-old male underwent an erythrocyte osmotic fragility test. The results for initial lysis and complete lysis were within the normal reference ranges of 4.5-5.5 g/l NaCl and 2.5-3.5 g/l NaCl, respectively, indicating normal osmotic fragility. However, the comments note that the patient had a recent blood transfusion, which could provide false results, so repeating the test in 4 weeks is recommended. The report was reviewed by the head of the hematology unit.
