2-Butoxyethanol
              causes acute hemolytic
              anemia
              in rats

In F344 male
              rats, 2-butoxyethanol
              causes severe acute hemolytic anemia resulting in significant
              increase in the concentration of free plasma hemoglobin. Secondary
              to the hemolytic effects, 2-butoxyethanol
              also caused hemoglobinuria
              as well as histopathologic changes in the liver and kidney.
