Pathogenesis of nutritional haemoglobinuria

PATHOGENESIS OF NUTRITIONAL HAEMOGLOBINURIA

Pathogenesis

  • Haemoglobinuria and hemolysis does not occur always. Death is mainly due to anemic anoxia.
  • The possible role of Cu and Se deficiency in hypophosphatemia is unclear. In cases of Cu deficiency, there will be microcytic hypochromic anemia.
  • Cu and Se provide protection against effects of orally acquired hemolytic agents of cruciferous plants.
