resorcinol and Methemoglobinemia

resorcinol has been researched along with Methemoglobinemia in 3 studies

resorcinol: RN given refers to parent cpd; structure in Merck Index, 9th ed, #7951
resorcinol : A benzenediol that is benzene dihydroxylated at positions 1 and 3.

Methemoglobinemia: The presence of methemoglobin in the blood, resulting in cyanosis. A small amount of methemoglobin is present in the blood normally, but injury or toxic agents convert a larger proportion of hemoglobin into methemoglobin, which does not function reversibly as an oxygen carrier. Methemoglobinemia may be due to a defect in the enzyme NADH methemoglobin reductase (an autosomal recessive trait) or to an abnormality in hemoglobin M (an autosomal dominant trait). (Dorland, 27th ed)
