An abnormal condition where hemoglobin is released into the blood plasma (the liquid part of blood) instead of staying inside red blood cells.
From hemoglobin plus '-emia' (condition of having in blood). This medical term describes a pathological state where red blood cells have broken down and released their hemoglobin.
Hemoglobinemia turns your blood plasma red—it means your red blood cells are dying too fast, and the hemoglobin spills out into the liquid part of your blood, which is a sign of serious hemolysis (cell destruction).
