Laboratory analysis: LDH, bilirubin (direct and indirect), liver enzymes, haptoglobin, free hemoglobin, potassium. Urine: urobilinogen, hemoglobin

In case of hypoplastic or aplastic anemia (low reticulocyte count, no signs of hemolysis): bone marrow aspiration, and consider differential diagnosis of aplastic anemia (infectious diseases, e.g., parvovirus B19 and many others, drugs, bone marrow infiltration, myelodysplastic syndrome, inherited bone marrow failure syndromes, idiopathic aplastic anemia)
