Disease Features anaemia due to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase [g6pd] deficiency
Absence or low individual and public risk
Anaemia due to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase [g6pd] deficiency - what does this mean
Anaemia due to g6pd deficiency occurs when the body lacks the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, which is essential for the metabolism of glucose. this leads to the accumulation of toxic metabolites, which can cause red blood cells to break down prematurely, resulting in anaemia.
What happens during the disease - anaemia due to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase [g6pd] deficiency
Anaemia due to g6pd deficiency is caused by a genetic mutation resulting in the deficiency of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, which is essential for the proper functioning of the red blood cells. this deficiency leads to the breakdown of red blood cells, resulting in anemia. it can be triggered by infections, medications, or even food, and can be acute or chronic.

Anaemia due to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase [g6pd] deficiency - Prevention
The best way to prevent anaemia due to g6pd deficiency is to avoid exposure to certain medications and environmental triggers that can cause an acute haemolytic crisis, such as infection, certain foods, and certain medications. additionally, individuals with g6pd deficiency should be monitored for early signs of anaemia and treated promptly if symptoms appear.
