Why is lower oxygen affinity in hb better at higher altitudes?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
At higher altitudes such as on top of a mountain, the air is less dense and this means that the partial pressure of oxygen is lower.
Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...
Take a ABPA SCREEN (TOTAL IGE, SPECIFIC IGE AF) Test or Take a PANCREATITIS MUTATION PANEL Test
