A Case Report of Acute-on-Chronic Methemoglobinemia by Gabriel Lathrop, Rodney Fullmer

“…Introduction: Methemoglobinemia is a rare hematologic disorder of hemoglobin, in which iron contained within the heme moiety becomes oxidized from ferrous iron to ferric iron at a concentration greater than 1% in the blood. This biochemical change reduces binding affinity for oxygen, leading to impaired oxygen deposition in tissues and subsequent hypoxia and hypoxemia. …”
