Coumadin can effect the Hemoglobin levels and make you more likely to develop Anemia disorders. The possibilities of developing an extreme case of Anemia is very high though.
How is seal hemoglobin different to human hemoglobin?
All hemoglobin has something called the Bohr effect, which is a negative effect of binding oxygen by hemoglobin in the presence of acid. This effect is some what exaggerated in diving mammals.
Is there a connection between hematocrit and peripheral edema?
usually peripheral edema is cause by right sided heart failure . people with COPD have polycythemia , means high level of RBCs , means high level of hemoglobin . when hemoglobin is high , hematocrit is high also . People who have a high hematocrit count may be at higher risk for heart problems
What happens when hemoglobin is happens?
They will have a better oxygen transport in their blood, this is why endurance athletes use doping substances or high altitude training to increase their hemoglobin levels. The drawback of a high hemoglobin level is that your blood is more likely to form thrombosis and cause stroke or heart attacks.
What is the effect of pCO2 on oxygen transport?
This is called the Bohr effect where a increase in pC02 which decrease the pH leads to a decreased affinity of hemoglobin to oxygen. This means that hemoglobin unloads oxygen in areas where pC02 is high e.g. active tissue and that the binding coefficient of hemoglobin is highest in the lung where pC02 is negligible.
If you had high hematocrit would your hemoglobin be high or low?
RBCs are made up of hemoglobin, therefore if the hematocrit is high you should expect a high hemoglobin determination.
How smoking effect on blood glucose?
I dont think smoking bothers your blood sugar but we know that it binds the hemoglobin and can cause heart disease.
Is asthma related to high hemoglobin?
No, asthma is related to low hemoglobin.
Are high heart rate and low iron related?
Yes, low iron can cause a high heart rate. The body needs iron to make hemoglobin, which is responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body, therefore the heart has to work harder to supply adequate oxygen.
How does high cholesetrol increase resting heart rate?
While high cholesterol may result in atherosclerosis, there is no relationship to its effect on heart rate.
Are hemoglobin found only in the walls of your heart?
