Methemalbumin
Active
Descriptions
Brown pigment formed by the binding of albumin with heme. Indicative of intravascular hemolysis Source: Regenstrief Institute
A 1:1 molar complex of heme or hematin and albumin formed after the dissociation of methemoglobin into heme or hematin and globin in plasma. This complex, which imparts a coffee-brown color to plasma, occurs in hemolytic and hemorrhagic disorders. Its presence in plasma is used as a test to differentiate between hemorrhagic and edematous pancreatitis. Source: National Library of Medicine, MeSH 2006
Methemalbumin analysis is used to evaluate hemolysis. Presence of methemalbumin appears when haptoglobin becomes saturated. Http://www.mercksource.com/pp/us/cns/cns_hl_dorlands.jspzQzpgzEzzSzppdocszSzuszSzcommonzSzdorlandszSzdorlandzSzdmd_m_12zPzhtm Source: Regenstrief Institute
