Methaemoglobin is the form of haemoglobin in which the iron moiety of the haem group has been oxidized from the ferrous to the ferric state. Methaemoglobinaemia is due to either an increase in the production of the oxidized haem moiety or due to decreased conversion back to the reduced form. This article presents a case of amyl nitrite-induced methaemoglobinaemia and discusses the diagnosis and treatment of this disorder.
高铁血红蛋白是血红蛋白的一种形式，其中血红素基团的铁部分已从亚铁状态氧化为三价铁状态。高铁血红蛋白血症要么是由于氧化的血红素部分的产生增加，要么是由于还原形式的转化减少所致。本文介绍了一例亚硝酸戊酯引起的高铁血红蛋白血症，并讨论了该疾病的诊断和治疗。
