Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC): A new risk factor for high- altitude pulmonary edema in the Ecuadorian Andes

2022-06-29

Abstract excerpt

Ascent to high altitude (> 3,000 m height above sea level or m.a.s.l) exposes people to hypobaric atmospheric pressure and blood hypoxemia, which provokes mountain sickness and whose symptoms vary from the mild acute mountain sickness to the life-threatening, high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). This study analysed the risk factors underlying HAPE in dwellers and travellers of the Ecuadorian Andes after sojournin...
