“…U ambulantních pacientů na domácí dialýze byla příčinou kontaminace vody v domácím zdroji, nejčastěji ve studni (11). U hospitalizovaných pacientů na kontinuální náhradě funkce ledvin byla jako příčina identifikována neadekvátní clearance chloraminu z vodovodního řadu (12,13). Řešením byla v obou případech výměna filtru.…”

a. s. 2 Klinika anesteziologie, resuscitace a intenzivní medicíny LF OU a FN Ostrava 3 Klinika hematoonkologie LF OU a FN Ostrava Methemoglobinemie je vzácná porucha hemového železa, při které jsou atomy dvojmocného železa oxidovány na železo trojmocné. Trojmocné železo váže kyslík s daleko vyšší afinitou (posun disociační křivky doleva) a hemoglobin ztrácí svoji schopnost transportovat kyslík do tkání. V článku je prezentována kazuistika pacientky s methemoglobinemií nejasné příčiny, která se rozvinula za hospitalizace na JIP. Dále jsou v textu prezentovány možné příčiny methemoglobinemie a terapeutické možnosti tohoto život ohrožujícího stavu.Klíčová slova: kyselina askorbová, lokální anestetika, methemoglobinemie, metylenová modř. Hospital-acquired methemoglobinemiaMethemoglobinemia is rare condition of hem iron. Ferrous form iron (Fe 2+ ) is oxidised to Ferric form (Fe 3+ ). Methemoglobin has reduced ability to release oxygen to tissues and thereby leads to tissue hypoxia. We present case of patient with methemoglobinemia of unknown etiology. Methemoglobinemia developed during hospitalization. Diferent causes of methemoglobinemia and also a treatment possibilities are discussed.

ABSTRACT:Haemolysis in haemodialysis, although rare in current times, is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. As such prompt recognition, treatment, analysis of root cause and correction of underlying causative factors is crucial. Dialysate, extracorporeal circuit and patient related factors all contribute to haemolysis risk. Haemolysis can manifest with non-specific signs and symptoms including but not restricted to hypertension, nausea, pain (abdominal, chest, back) and dyspnoea. It may present acutely during the dialysis session or may take a protracted course. Potential life threating consequences include; hyperkalaemia induced cardiac arrhythmias, profound anaemia and associated acute coronary events and respiratory distress, and severe necrotizing pancreatitis. Chronic haemolysis results in impaired endothelial function thus contributing to the long-term cardiovascular risk profile in haemodialysis patients. Stringent national and international standards, technological advancements in membrane and dialysis equipment design, dialyser purification methods and water treatment systems have greatly reduced the incidence of haemolysis. Despite these improvements recognition of haemolysis risk and ongoing clinical vigilance is important.
