Overview
Methemoglobinemia may be caused by either congenital or acquired conditions.
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]
Causes
1. Drug Induced
• *Anesthetics like *benzocaine, *lidocaine, *prilocaine
• *Nitric oxide
• *Amyl Nitrate
• Antimalarial drugs like *Primaquine phosphate (in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) methemoglobin reductase deficient individuals)
• *Rasburicase [3]
• *Dapsone
• *Trimethoprim
• *Sulfonamides
• *Aniline dyes
2. Contaminated well water (in premature infants and infants younger than 4 months) [4]
3. Solid foods (not well cooked vegetables high in nitrates in premature infants and infants younger than 4 months)
