Preferred Label : methemoglobinemia;
MeSH definition : The presence of methemoglobin in the blood, resulting in cyanosis. A small amount
of methemoglobin is present in the blood normally, but injury or toxic agents convert
a larger proportion of hemoglobin into methemoglobin, which does not function reversibly
as an oxygen carrier. Methemoglobinemia may be due to a defect in the enzyme NADH
methemoglobin reductase (an autosomal recessive trait) or to an abnormality in hemoglobin
M (an autosomal dominant trait). (Dorland, 27th ed);
MeSH synonym : methemoglobinemias;
