what would happen if the body had too much carbon dixodide in red blood cells?

your question is confused .. red blood cells carry Oxygen on the way from the lungs to the heart and other parts, they carry CO2 from the rest of the body back to the lungs for exhalation. If they were saturated with CO you would be suffering cyanosis or Carbon Monoxide poisoning, that would be unpleasant to say the least.\nTheoretically you can 't carry too much CO2 in the red blood cell since it is self regulating and can only carry X amount at any given time .. hence the reason you breathe fast or slow depending on the production of CO2 by your body chemistry; the CO2 encites certain hormones to accelarate your heart beat and respiration rate to accommodate for the 'overload" of CO2

Dihydrogen monoxide is a major waste product in many combustion processes. Levels in atmosphere may exceed those of carbon dioxide at times, usually meaning nasty conditions.\n\nIn the upper atmosphere, dihydrogen monoxide has a major influence on the reception of sunlight.\n\nIntake of large doses of dihydrogen monoxide via the respiratory apparatus tends to be lethal and needs to be reversed at the earliest possible occasion.\n\nAs badly crystallized solid, the material causes a major hazard to traffic and electricity supply. While there are adventurous uses of the material for risky recreation, often causing avoidable accidents, there are high expenses for removing the material.\n\nBetter crystallized, the material gets even more hazardous for traffic and electricity supply. Chemicals - usually alkali halides - are routinely applied for its removal, causing enviromental troubles.\n\nContact with gaseous dihydrogen monoxide will cause severe burns, as condensation heat is transferred to the skin.\n\n\nThe pure material is mildly corrosive, but will enhance the corrosive effect of other substances.\n\nIt is not flamable, and use of it by firefighters is approved even though usually accompanied by damages to surrounding objects.\n\n\nThere are extremely strict rules for edible dihydrogen monoxide.

Basicly, you die. The Blood's normal PH is 7.4, If it drops below 6.8 or above 7.8, your dead.\n\n"If the pH of the body gets too low (below 7.4), a condition known as acidosis results. This can be very serious, because many of the chemical reactions that occur in the body, especially those involving proteins, are pH-dependent. Ideally, the pH of the blood should be maintained at 7.4. If the pH drops below 6.8 or rises above 7.8, death may occur. Fortunately, we have buffers in the blood to protect against large changes in pH."

Having too much of any vitamins could cause side effects.  For example too much vitamin C causes you to have diarrhea.  If you don't feel sick or anything, then don't worry about it.

Hi Cogitum.  Arsenic poisoning can lead to abnormal accumulation of pyruvate.  "Arsenite (the trivalent form of arsenic) forms a stable complex with thiol (-SH) groups of lipoic acid, making that compound unavailable to serve as a coenzyme.  When it (arsenite) binds to lipoic acid in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, pyruvate (and consequently lactate) accumulate.  ...this particularly affects the brain, causing neurologic disturbances and death."\n\nThis is taken directly from "Lippincott's Illustrated Reviews; Biochemistry, 3rd edition by Champe and Harvey and published in 2005.\n\nIn plain english, the textbook is saying that arsenic (a common heavy metal that is very toxic) prevents the enzyme that converts pyruvate into acetyl coA from doing just that.  The result is a buildup of pyruvate and lactate in the blood and a significant loss of energy production by the body.  The net result of all this is brain injury.  \n\nI encourage you to share this with your doctors.  Best wishes and good luck!

It denatures the hemoglobin protein within the blood cells, inactivating it and essentially killing the blood cells. That is why our bodies' pH is neutral, anywhere from 4.5 to 8.5, because an extremely high or low pH is very dangerous.

Iron-rich water will usually stain a white shirt a ruddy shade of red-orange. \n\nAlso, when someone takes too much iron, the first effect is irritation and ulceration of the stomach lining. This results in nausea, abdominal pain and vomiting as early as 20 minutes after the ingestion. This can be followed by an apparent recovery, which is very deceptive because a few hours later the person can go into pro-found shock with a severe blood chemistry imbalance. When too much iron gets into the bloodstream, it goes to all the organs and can damage the stomach, liver, kidneys, lungs, blood vessels and brain. It can essentially kill you.

Hemoglobin C is a variant of hemoglobin that is not normally present.  It is a result of a mutation in hemoglobin genes and cannot be prevented or treated.  The result is a chronic anemia which may, for the most part, be asymptomatic (undetected) unless another factor brings it to the surface (e.g. an acute illness, a change of lifestyle, etc). \n\nThe effect of having Hemoglobin C in your red blood cells is that they will tend to break down more readily than those with normal hemoglobin, putting your RBC production rate in overdrive.  Normally, this will go unnoticed, but a situation which puts further stress on your RBC production rate will expose the limitation.  This will cause episodes of jaundice (yellow discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes) and fatigue under stressful conditions. \n\nOn a lighter note, because of the subtle chemical differences in Hemoglobin C structure, people who carry it are almost immune from contracting malaria. \n\nOne additional comment:  the percentage of you HbC suggests that this MAY not be the only hemoglobinopathy present in this case.  It is common for some HbC individuals to also have a thalassemia.  It could be a good idea to have that checked out, especially if you have African/Mediteranean lineage.
