C. Reticulocytes
D. All of the above
E. None of the above - ANSWER-D;
Intravascular hemolysis is typically associated with increased levels of serum

LDH is found in higher levels during intravascular hemolysis due to fact that high
levels of LDH are normally found within the red cells, but is now being spilled into
the bloodstream via red cell lysis. Bilirubin is a breakdown product of hemoglobin,
which has also been spilled into the bloodstream from broken red blood cells via
hemolysis. Reticulocytosis is a reflection of the release of an increased number of
immature red blood cells from the marrow to account for the red blood cells that
are lost through hemolysis. This is a normal response. Failure to show an increased
