Question

What is Sulfhemoglobinemia...?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sulfhemoglobinemia is a rare condition in which a sulfur atom oxidizes the heme moiety in hemoglobin, making the hemoglobin incapable of carrying oxygen and leading to hypoxia and cyanosis.

Answer 2

Answer:

Sulfhemoglobinemia is caused by excessive exposure to sulphur-containing compounds, like medications that contain sulfonamides (such as sumatriptan or furosemide), nitrate fertilizer, or the overconsumption of nitrogenous vegetables like spinach (usually only in infants).
