G6PD Deficiency Test

Introduction

G6PD deficiency (Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency) is a common inherited enzyme disorder affecting red blood cells. Without sufficient G6PD enzyme, red cells may break down (hemolysis) when exposed to certain drugs, infections, or foods (such as fava beans). Newborn screening is strongly recommended.

Why Take a G6PD Test?

  • Newborn screening: Detect G6PD deficiency early to prevent severe jaundice or hemolysis.
  • Genetic risk evaluation: Important for individuals with a family history.
  • Medication safety: Helps avoid drugs that may trigger hemolysis.
  • Dietary guidance: Advises avoidance of high-risk foods such as fava beans.

Method & Workflow

A blood test is performed to measure G6PD enzyme activity. In newborns, heel-prick blood samples are commonly used for quick screening.

Who Should Consider Testing?

  • All newborns (routine genetic screening)
  • Individuals with a family history of G6PD deficiency
  • People with unexplained hemolysis or anemia
  • Patients requiring long-term medications with hemolysis risk

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q2: Can G6PD deficiency be cured?

Q3: Which foods or drugs should be avoided?
A: Typical examples include fava beans, sulfa drugs, and high-dose aspirin. Doctors will provide specific guidance.
