The G6PD (Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase) Test is a blood test used to determine the level of the G6PD enzyme in red blood cells. This enzyme plays a crucial role in protecting red blood cells from damage caused by oxidative stress.
A deficiency of G6PD is a genetic condition that can lead to the breakdown of red blood cells (hemolysis), especially when exposed to certain medications, infections, or foods such as fava beans. This can result in symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, dark urine, and anemia.
The purpose of this test is to:
- Measure G6PD enzyme levels in the blood
- Diagnose G6PD deficiency
- Assess risk of hemolytic anemia
- Help identify causes of unexplained jaundice or anemia
- Guide safe medication and dietary choices
