nitrites and Anemia, Hemolytic

nitrites has been researched along with Anemia, Hemolytic in 9 studies

Nitrites: Salts of nitrous acid or compounds containing the group NO2-. The inorganic nitrites of the type MNO2 (where M=metal) are all insoluble, except the alkali nitrites. The organic nitrites may be isomeric, but not identical with the corresponding nitro compounds. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)

Anemia, Hemolytic: A condition of inadequate circulating red blood cells (ANEMIA) or insufficient HEMOGLOBIN due to premature destruction of red blood cells (ERYTHROCYTES).

Trial Outcomes

48 Hour Sodium Nitrite Infusion Safety as Determined by Number of Participants With No Adverse Events

The primary end points will be to determine if a) a 48-hour sodium nitrite infusion is tolerated without a decrease in mean arterial blood pressure by 15mmHg for greater than 2 hours or development of methemoglobin greater than 5% and b) a 48-hour sodium nitrite infusion is safe as determined by monitoring for adverse events (NCT01033227)
Timeframe: 48 hours from start of infusion
