Red blood cells carry oxygen in the body and Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase protects these cells from oxidative chemicals. If there is a lack of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase, red blood cells can go acute hemolysis. Convulsion is a rare presentation for acute hemolysis due to
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is an enzyme, playing an important role in the redox metabolism of all aerobic cells. It was reported that certain medications, fava beans, and infections can trigger acute hemolytic anemia in patients with G6PD deficiency. An 8-year-old male patient was
OBJECTIVE
To explore clinical features and laboratory data of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase(G6PD)deficiency and to investigate the relationship between them.
METHODS
Clinical data of 43 patients with G6PD deficiency was analyzed, the statistical method was applied to investigate the relationship
The pathophysiology, diagnosis, and medication-use implications of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, the most common enzyme deficiency in humans, are reviewed.
Originally identified as favism in patients who experienced hemolysis after ingestion of fava beans, G6PD deficiency
