The clinical significance of haptoglobin (Hp) can be seen in the fact that its serum concentration shows a specific pattern in certain diseases and under various therapeutic measures. The determination of Hp is not only indicated in haemolytic anaemias, but also in liver and kidney diseases, infections, diseases of the connective tissue, malignant tumours, and under certain therapeutic conditions.
