Osmatic Fragility Test

An Osmotic Fragility Test (OFT) is a specialized blood test used to determine how resistant your red blood cells (RBCs) are to breaking when placed in varying concentrations of saltwater (saline).

Healthy red blood cells are flexible and can handle a certain amount of swelling. Cells that are abnormally shaped—particularly those that are spherical instead of disc-shaped—burst more easily. This test is the primary tool for diagnosing Hereditary Spherocytosis.
