G6PD - Quantitative Reflex Qualitative, EDTA Blood

G6PD Qualitative Blood Test measures the amount of G6PD in RBCs.

G6PD (Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase) Quantitative is a test used to measure the activity of the G6PD enzyme in blood. G6PD is an important enzyme that plays a crucial role in protecting red blood cells from oxidative stress.

G6PD deficiency is an inherited condition that affects the activity of the G6PD enzyme. Individuals with G6PD deficiency have red blood cells that are more susceptible to damage from oxidative stress, which can lead to hemolytic anemia. This can occur in response to certain medications, infections, or other triggers that cause oxidative stress
