METHEMOGLOPNEMIA
Blue
Skin People
The
research of topics of discussion of the 8 am coffee group
meeting
at the Wescoats Corners & Five Points Arbys.
e
The
subject is a condition caused by elevated levels of
methemoglobin
in ones blood, which is, hemoglobin that contains a
ferric
iron., causing the relationship of oxygen to iron to be
impaired,
causing
an increase
of
oxygen in the 'heof oxygen in the 'heme sites” that are in a
“ferrois”
state
within the same tetrameric hemogoblin unit. Now, this leads to
a
reduced
ability of red blood cells to release oxygen to the humans
tissues
causing 'tissue hypoxia' to occur.
This
will cause a shortness of breath, cyanosis, mental status,
headache, fatigue, dizziness and loss of hair.
Cyanosis
is the bluish or purplish discoloration of the skin from a
low oxygen count in the blood system.
Cyanosis
derives from Greek “Cyanos”, aka “kuavoc” , the word
for blue.
Due
to a deficiency of enzyme diaphorase I, blood instead of red
is
brown resulting in caucasian patients skin gaining a bluish
hue.
Hemoglobin
in the blood carries oxygen from your lungs to the
rest
of body tissues. You really need that.
