Kathie, I would ask for a haptaglobin and reticulicyte rate, the haptaglobin is a measure of how many 'scavenger' molecules are needed to remove the damaged blood cells, the reticulicyte rate measures how fast you need to regenerate the lost red blood cells.

The haptaglobin rate is key as its a measure of how fast the body needs to clean up dying red blood cells and would be a key indicator of hemolysis.
