Overview
Methemoglobinemia may be caused by either congenital or acquired conditions.
Causes
Congenital (Hereditary) Methemoglobinemia
- There are three main congenital conditions that lead to methemoglobinemia:
1. Cytochrome b5 reductase deficiency and pyruvate kinase deficiency
3. Presence of abnormal hemoglobin (Hb M)
Acquired or Acute Methemoglobinemia
- Some of the most common causes leading to methemoglobinemia include different oxidant drugs, toxins and chemicals.[1] [2]
1. Drug Induced
• Anesthetics[3] like benzocaine[4], lidocaine[5], prilocaine[6]
• Antimalarial drugs like Primaquine phosphate (in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) methemoglobin reductase deficient individuals)
• Dapsone
2. Contaminated well water (in premature infants and infants younger than 4 months) [9] [10]
3. Solid foods (not well cooked vegetables high in nitrates in premature infants and infants younger than 4 months) [11] [12]
