Update on Glucose -6- Phosphate Dehydronase Deficiency
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a metabolic disorder as a result of the deficiency of G6PD in the glycolytic pathway and this enzyme is essential in the maintenance of red blood cell membrane integrity to ensure its biconcave nature. This condition results in haemolytic anaemia whenever the patient is exposed the fava beans, oxidants, drugs, some chemicals, infection and many others. It is a neglected area in medicine and is area of concern for the public. This paper was written to enlighten the world on the need to have adequate knowledge of this disorder and the test should be included among routine tests to rule it before commencement of treatment to avoid haemolytic anaemia.
