Claims
Breed: Domestic Shorthair (Cat)Disorder:Summary: see also 'OMIA:001171-9685 : Methaemoglobinaemia, generic in Felis catus'Clin feat: Jenni et al. (2023): A young adult European domestic shorthair cat decompensated at induction of anesthesia and was found to have persistent methemoglobinemia of 39 ± 8% (reference range lt; 3%) of total hemoglobin which could be reversed upon intravenous methylene blue injection. The erythrocytic CYB5R activity was 20 ± 6% of normal. ... Erythrocytic glutathione levels were twice that of controls. Mild microcytosis, echinocytes, and multiple Ca2+-filled vesicles were found in the affected cat. Erythrocytes were unstable at high osmolarities although highly deformable as follows from the changes in elongation index and maximal-tolerated osmolarity.Defect: yes
