| Domain | Definition |
Health | The presence of methemoglobin in the blood, resulting in cyanosis. It may be drug-induced or be due to a defect in the enzyme NADH methemoglobin reductase (an autosomal recessive trait) or to an abnormality in haemoglobin M (an autosomal dominant trait). (references) |
Medicine | Illness caused by the presence in the blood of methaemoglobin, a compound of haemoglobin and oxygen that is more stable than oxyhaemoglobin and so does not yield up its oxygen. In extreme cases methaemoglobinaemia leads to asphyxiation(in infants, the "blue baby" condition). It can occur in infants, and ruminant animals when nitrates ingested from food or water are reduced to nitrites by bacteria in the digestive system. Nitrite is able to pass through the gut wall into the bloodstream, together with hydroxylamine, another product of the bacterial reduction or nitrate to nitrite, which plays a principal role in the destruction of vitamin A as well as having a haemolytic action that can give rise to anaemia.
