Methylene Blue and G6PD Deficiency: Why It Can Be Unsafe
Mark
Reading Time: 6 minutes. Methylene blue treats methemoglobinemia via NADPH-dependent reduction to leucomethylene blue. In G6PD deficiency, NADPH is insufficient, so the drug cannot reduce methemoglobin and instead amplifies oxidative stress. This triggers Heinz body formation, acute hemolysis, and can worsen hypoxia. FDA labelling lists G6PD deficiency as a contraindication. Warning signs include dark urine,…

Methylene Blue Pee: Why It Turns Urine Blue
Mark
Reading Time: 7 minutes. Methylene blue is a phenothiazine dye used clinically that is filtered by the kidneys and excreted essentially unchanged. In urine, the dye and its reduced form (leucomethylene blue) act as blue chromophores. Mixing with yellow urochrome often yields a blue‑green hue. This typically indicates intact glomerular filtration and tubular handling. Intensity…
