What does this test G6PD, Qualitative (Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase) Test identify?

  • This test identifies individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency.
  • G6PD deficiency is a genetic disorder that affects red blood cells, leading to their destruction when exposed to certain triggers such as infections, certain medications, or foods.
  • Individuals with G6PD deficiency may experience symptoms such as hemolytic anemia, jaundice, and fatigue.
  • Identifying G6PD deficiency is important in order to prevent complications and manage the condition appropriately.

Why is this test G6PD, Qualitative (Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase) Test taken?

  • G6PD Deficiency Screening: This test is taken to screen for a deficiency in the enzyme Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD), which is essential for red blood cell function. Individuals with G6PD deficiency may experience hemolytic anemia when exposed to certain triggers such as infections, certain medications, or fava beans.
  • Prevent Hemolytic Crisis: Identifying G6PD deficiency in individuals before they are exposed to triggers can help prevent a hemolytic crisis, which is a serious condition that can lead to severe anemia and other complications.
  • Medication Management: Knowing a patient's G6PD status can also help healthcare providers determine which medications are safe for them to use, as some drugs can trigger hemolysis in individuals with G6PD deficiency.
  • Family Planning: G6PD deficiency is an inherited condition, so testing can also be done for family planning purposes to assess the risk of passing on the deficiency to offspring.
