  ABSTRACT: Hemolysis of biological samples has long been considered to impact the results of conventional biochemical examinations for various reasons. For some years now, suppliers of biochemistry automats and reagents have been providing thresholds or indexes for hemolysis, icterus and lactescence beyond which the results are no longer reliable. Hemolysis can interfere with assays performed in the laboratory. These interferences are due to the release in serum or plasma of constituents present in red blood cells. The present work aims to determine the rate of hemolyzed samples from the different departments of the Mohammed VI University Hospital of Oujda (Morocco) and to propose practical approaches to improve the accuracy and reliability of biochemical results.
