What is Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase ?
G6PD is an enzyme that plays a critical role in protecting red blood cells from oxidative stress. A deficiency in this enzyme can lead to the destruction of red blood cells, a condition known as hemolysis. G6PD deficiency is typically diagnosed through blood tests, and the results are essential for guiding treatment decisions, especially in patients who are at risk of hemolytic anemia.
