Abstract:
The high level of Methemoglobinemia influences the combination of blood with oxygen and oxygen transfer to cells which can lead to the life in the normal condition. Methemoglobine is a component of erythrocyte in a very small amount(less than 1% of total Hemoglobine). An increased Methemoglobine leads to the disorder of oxygen delivery. The clinical symptoms are direct proportional with the methemoglobinemia level. The hypermethmoglobinemia includes the congenital- methemoglobinemia and the acquired methemoglobinemia. The congenital hypermethemoglobinemia attibuted to a partly or completed deficiency of Methemoglobine reductase in patients with the deficiency of genetic heterozygous - enzyme or abnormal methemoglobine: the acquired methemoglobinemia occurred after exposure with the chromatic compound, food, water with much nitrate or use of some drugs. The quantitative analysis of methemoglobinemia has a values in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis
