methemoglobinnivåer
Methemoglobinnivåer refer to the concentration of methemoglobin in the blood. Methemoglobin is a form of hemoglobin where the iron atom is in the ferric (Fe3+) state, rather than the usual ferrous (Fe2+) state. This ferric state prevents methemoglobin from binding and transporting oxygen effectively.
Normal blood typically contains a very small amount of methemoglobin, usually less than 1% of the total
Symptoms of methemoglobinemia are related to the reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. Mild cases might
Diagnosis is made by measuring methemoglobin levels in a blood sample. Treatment depends on the severity of
