Zusammenfassung
Aims: Methemoglobin and hemolysis are both the result of oxidative stress, but the difference between them is that methemoglobin is a reversible phenomenon (oxidant/antioxidant balance) whereas hemolysis is not, as it affects the membrane of the red blood cell. Methemoglobin can exacerbate an existing anemia and lead to hypoxia, endangering both the mother and the fetus. Objective: The objective of this review is to direct attention to methemoglobin as an early biomarker of environmental toxic effects of oxidative stress, which puts pregnancy at risk and may later impair the health of newborns, children and adol…
