Monge's disease Definition
A disease that can develop during extended time living at altitude, Monge's disease, or Chronic mountain sickness was first described in 1925 by Carlos Monge. Its acute form is called acute mountain sickness, which occurs shortly after ascent to high altitude. Medicine describes high altitude as over 2500 meters though most cases of CMS occur at over 3000 meters.
Monge's disease Diagnosis
Clinical diagnosis of Monge's disease by laboratory show indicators have ranges of HHb > 200 g/L, Hct >65%, and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) <85% in both genders.
Monge's disease Treatment
Symptoms will diminish once the individual descends from altitude and the hematocrit return to normal slowly. Bleeding and removal of circulating blood to reduce the hematocrit are among the acute treatment at altitude but are not ideal for extended periods.
Monge's disease Symptoms and Signs
Headache, dizziness, tinnitus, breathelessness, sleep, disturbance, palpitations, fatigue, mental confusion, anorexia, cyanosis and dilation of veins are the most common signs and symptoms of CMS or Monge's disease.
Monge's disease Causes
It is believed that the condition arises due to an excessive production of red blood cells, which increases the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. But it may also cause greater viscosity and uneven blood flow through the lungs.
