A form of hemoglobin in which the iron in the heme group is in the ferric (Fe3+) state, also known as methemoglobin.
The presence of ferrihemiglobin in the blood can lead to a condition known as methemoglobinemia.
An oxidized form of hemoglobin (containing ferric iron) that is unable to bind oxygen efficiently, leading to impaired oxygen delivery in the body.
High levels of ferrihemiglobin reduce the blood’s capacity to transport oxygen.
