Understanding Haptoglobin
Haptoglobin is a protein made by the liver that plays an important role in protecting the body when red blood cells (RBCs) break down. RBCs carry hemoglobin, an iron-containing protein that transports oxygen throughout the body. Normally, hemoglobin stays inside red blood cells, and a very small amount circulates freely in the blood.
However, when red blood cells are damaged or destroyed (hemolysis), they release hemoglobin into the blood. This free hemoglobin can be harmful, especially to the kidneys, if not clea...
