CHAPTER 4 PART 2 Flashcards
Production of reduced Diphosphopyridine dinucleotide (DPNH) in the presence of
methemoglobin reductase (diaphorase)
Production of reduced Triphosphopyridine nucleotide (TPNH) in the presence of
Glucose-6-PO4 dehydrogenase → Reduced Glutathione
o Increase production
Inherited Enzyme Deficiency
o NADH-Methemoglobin reductase deficiency or Diaphorase deficiency
Inherited Enzyme Deficiency
Results of various amino acid substitutions in the globin chain that directly affect the heme group.
Inherited M
Inherited M Acquired: Chemical or therapeutic agents
(aniline dyes, NO3, NO2, antimalarial drugs, sulfonamides)
Inherited M Therapy:
Ascorbic Acid & Methylthioninium Cl
Org. sulfides + Hb oxidant drugs (phenacetin & acetanilid, sulfonamides)
Sulfhemoglobin
Hb oxidant drugs
(phenacetin & acetanilid, sulfonamides)
IRREVERSIBLE
Sulfhemoglobin
Sulfhemoglobin + CO -
Carboxysulfhemoglobin
Sulfhemoglobin
Sulfhemoglobin Critical value:
0.5 g/100 ml
mauve-lavender (when its stained) Heinz bodies (central stippling)
Sulfhemoglobin
Absorption: 600-620 nm
Sulfhemoglobin
ferricyanide + Fe3+ of Hb
Cyanmethemoglobin (HCN)
The most stable among the pigments
Cyanmethemoglobin (HCN)
Absorption wavelength: 540 nm
Cyanmethemoglobin (HCN)
“fast hemoglobins”
GLYCOSYLATED HEMOGLOBIN
irreversibly glycosylated at 1 or both N-terminal valines (or
lysine) of the B-chains
GLYCOSYLATED HEMOGLOBIN
HbA1a, HbA1b, Hb A1c
GLYCOSYLATED HEMOGLOBIN
is elevated 2 - 3 fold in patients with diabetes mellitus.
Hb A1c
Increased Hb
Polycythemia
Dehydration (burns, diarrhea)
Decreased Hb
All anemia
Leukemia
After 50 years of age =
slight decrease
(?) in the morning and (¿) in the evening
Higher
lower
(?) if lying down
Lower
in smokers: high altitude
Increased
Determines the proportion of O2, released to the tissues or loaded onto the cell at a given oxygen pressure.
OXYGEN AFFINITY
means hemoglobin has an increased affinity for O2, so it binds more and does not want to give it up
Increases in oxygen affinity
Decreases in oxygen affinity, cause.
O2 to be released
FACTORS AFFECTING HEMOGLOBIN AFFINITY FOR OXYGEN
- Blood (Body) Temperature
- Blood pH
- Level2,3–DPG
- Carbon Dioxide (Haldane Effect)
- Fetal Hb
- Abnormal Hb
• Hgb has less attraction or affinity for 02

•Hgb willing to release Oz to totissue. tissue
