Methaemoglobinaemia: From pathophysiology to contemporary clinical management
Summary Methaemoglobin (MetHb) is an oxidised form of haemoglobin (Hb) unable to bind oxygen. Raised levels of MetHb reduce the blood's oxygen‐carrying capacity, causing potentially severe hypoxaemia and possible death. The condition arises from three main pathologies: mutations in globin genes causing Haemoglobin‐M, inherited deficiency of the enzyme ...
