    AbstractThe measurement of the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve (ODC) and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) in patients with chronic hypoxemia is important from the view point of tissue oxygenation. However, there have been no consistent results that explain the relation among chronic hypoxemia, 2,3-DPG and P50, which is oxygen pressure at an oxygen saturation of 50 percent. The aim of this study is to clarify what factors affect P50 and 2,3-DPG. 1) Patients with chronic hypoxemia, who showed PaO2 less than 60 Torr, had significantly higher P50 than normal subjects. 2) The concentration of Hb showed significant negative correlation with both P50 and 2,3-DPG. 3) Arterial blood pH showed significant positive correlation with both P50 and 2,3-DPG. 4) In a group with normal levels of Hb and pH, there was significant negative relationship between PaO2 and P50. 5) In a group with normal levels of Hb and pH, there was significant positive relationship between PaCO2 and P50. 6) In a group with normal levels of Hb, pH and PaCO2, there was significant negative relationship between PaO2 and 2,3-DPG. In conclusion, P50 and 2,3-DPG are affected largely by Hb concentration or blood pH, with or without hypoxemia. However there is a mechanism by which P50 and 2,3-DPG are increased by hypoxemia itself in a group with normal levels of Hb, pH and PaCO2.
