1. A method for predicting the onset of at least one nitric oxide-related negative influence in a human patient, said method comprising:
- providing an electronic device;
measuring a concentration level of at least one breath gas exhaled by the patient over a period of time;
comparing the measured concentration levels with a predetermined concentration profile indicative of an onset of at least one selected nitric oxide-related negative influence; and
wherein said at least one selected nitric oxide-related negative influence is associated with an intravascular hemoglobin-dependent decrease in nitric oxide bioavailability, wherein said step of comparing is carried out by the electronic device.

Abstract
A method for predicting the onset of any (NO)-related negative influence of hemolysis, such as pain or the likely occurrence of a stroke, in a human patient by detecting abnormal levels of hemolysis, through the measurement of one or more breath gas concentrations.
