Sulfhemoglobinemia
Congenital sulfhemoglobin and transient methemoglobinemia secondary to diarrhoea. (1/2)
Sulfhemoglobinemia and Methemoglobinemia are common causes of cyanosis arising due to accumulation of abnormal heme pigment. We present an unusual case of congenital sulfhemoglobinemia along with diarrhoea induced methemo-globinemia in a neonate. A high index of suspicion and a proper diagnostic approach is needed to determine the true frequency of their occurrence together. (+info)A case of sulfhemoglobinemia and emergency measurement of sulfhemoglobin with an OSM3 CO-oximeter. (2/2)
We describe a case of sulfhemoglobinemia associated with toxic paint ingestion. Blood gases, oxygen content, and fractional hemoglobin derivatives were assayed with Radiometer 520 and OSM3 instruments. Although the CO-oximeters indicated the presence of sulfhemoglobin (SulfHb), the results were not quantitative. An OSM3 service software program was activated to obtain the actual concentrations of the hemoglobin fractions. Subsequently, we evaluated the performance of the OSM3 service program for the analysis of SulfHb by performing precision studies and comparing OSM3 results with those of an AVL 912 CO-oximeter. Retrospectively, we determined that the patient's specimens contained 6% SulfHb. There was an obvious deviation between standard OSM3 oxyhemoglobin fraction measurements and those obtained by using its service program-the effect of a high SulfHb content. (+info)Sulfhemoglobinemia is a rare condition characterized by the presence of sulfhemoglobin in the blood, which is a dark brown or black colored form of hemoglobin that cannot effectively transport oxygen. Sulfhemoglobin is formed when the heme component of hemoglobin combines with sulfur-containing compounds, such as certain medications (e.g., sulfonamides), industrial chemicals, or byproducts of metabolism.
The accumulation of sulfhemoglobin in the blood can lead to a decrease in the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, resulting in symptoms such as cyanosis (bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes), shortness of breath, fatigue, and headache. Severe or prolonged sulfhemoglobinemia can cause more serious complications, including heart failure, seizures, and even death.
Treatment for sulfhemoglobinemia typically involves discontinuing the offending agent, if possible, and supportive care to manage symptoms. In some cases, blood transfusions or medications that promote the breakdown of sulfhemoglobin may be necessary. The prognosis for sulfhemoglobinemia depends on the severity of the condition and the underlying cause.
Sulfhemoglobin is a dark blue, chemically stable form of hemoglobin that results from the reaction between hemoglobin and sulfur-containing compounds such as sulfide or certain drugs like phenacetin. It has a limited ability to transport oxygen, leading to potential hypoxia if it accumulates in high concentrations. Sulfhemoglobinemia is the condition characterized by an increased level of sulfhemoglobin in the blood.
