Background
Haptoglobin (Hp) is an abundant human plasma protein that tightly captures hemoglobin (Hb) during hemolysis. The Hb-Hp complex formation reduces the oxidative properties of heme/Hb and promotes recognition by the macrophage scavenger receptor CD163. The major functions of Hp are to scavenge Hb, prevent iron loss, and prevent heme-based oxidation. Decreased haptoglobin is a marker for hemolysis because haptoglobin levels become depleted in the presence of large amounts of free hemoglobin.
