AB Dyshemoglobinemias  are  disorders  in  which  the  hemoglobin  molecule  is  functionally  altered  and  prevented  from  carrying  oxygen.  The  most  clinically  relevant  dyshemoglobinemias  are  carboxyhemoglobin,  methemoglobin,  and  sulfhemoglobin.1  Carboxyhemoglobin  is  created  during  carbon  monoxide  exposure  and,  because  of  its  unique  importance  and  prevalence,  is  usually  considered  an  environmental  emergency  (see  chapter  222,  "Carbon  Monoxide").
