The Clinical Sequelae of Intravascular Hemolysis and Extracellular Plasma Hemoglobin

Abstract: Context The efficient sequestration of hemoglobin by the red blood cell membrane and the presence of multiple hemoglobin clearance mechanisms suggest a critical need to prevent the buildup of this molecule in the plasma. A growing list of clinical manifestations attributed to hemoglobin release in a variety of acquired and iatrogenic hemolytic disorders suggests that hemolysis and hemoglobinemia should be considered as a novel mechanism of human disease. Evidence Acquisition Pertinent scientific literature dat… Show more

“…They found an increase in the NO levels of patients with hypertension and diabetes together, hence indicating that there is increased release of NO but maybe, low NO bioavailability. When the capacity of protective hemoglobin-scavenging mechanisms gets saturated, levels of cell free hemoglobin increase resulting in consumption of NO and clinical sequelae [7]. Increased plasma hemoglobin levels are responsible for impairment of EDRF (NO) function and may be the cause in setting up a disease process.…”

“…Intravascular hemoglobin limits the amount of endothelial-derived NO available for vasodilation. Hemolysis has recently been suggested to contribute to endothelial dysfunction based on a mechanism of NO scavenging by cell-free hemoglobin [7]. Plasma hemoglobin has the ability to scavenge NO while heme possesses multiple proinflammatory and prooxidant properties [7].…”

“…impaired regulation of smooth muscle tone, vascular constriction and intravascular thrombosis). 14 Although the exact mechanism by which hemoglobinuria causes kidney injury is unclear, heme proteins (e.g. hemoglobin and myoglobin) are thought to precipitate cast formation and obstruction of renal tubule, resulting in acute tubular necrosis of the proximal tubule cells.…”

“…However, the protective haptoglobin/hemopexin/Albumin/heme oxygenase (HO) systems can be overwhelmed in disease states, including hemolysis and inflammation, resulting in increased circulating levels of free Hb and free (or LDL bound) heme that can attack the endothelium and effect perfusion [6,43,69,70,81,97]. Such may be the case in AD when RBC fragility and lysis are increased.…”

“…Extracellular or free Hb released from lysed erythrocytes (oxyHb; Fe +2 ) causes injury to endothelial cells [5,59,81] and death of cultured neurons [24,77,83]. It also undergoes spontaneous oxidation to methemoglobin (metHb, Fe +3 ) which loses its heme group more readily than oxyHb [24,69].…”
