Test Overview
What Is a G6PD Quantitative Reflex Qualitative Test in Hyderabad?
The G6PD Quantitative Reflex Qualitative Test in Hyderabad helps detect Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, an inherited enzyme disorder that affects the red blood cells’ ability to handle oxidative stress.
When G6PD levels are low, red blood cells can break down prematurely — a condition known as haemolytic anaemia. This can be triggered by certain foods (like fava beans), infections, or medications such as antimalarials and sulphonamides.
At Metropolis Healthcare, this test is performed using the kinetic method on EDTA blood samples. If the enzyme level is found to be borderline or low, a reflex qualitative test is automatically performed to confirm the result.
What Does a G6PD Quantitative Reflex Qualitative Test Measure in Hyderabad?
The test measures the activity level of the G6PD enzyme and evaluates red blood cell health. It helps:
- Detect inherited G6PD deficiency
- Diagnose the cause of haemolytic anaemia or neonatal jaundice
- Assess the safety of certain medications
- Identify individuals at risk of red cell breakdown under stress
- Screen newborns and high-risk groups for early intervention
Who Should Consider a G6PD Quantitative Reflex Qualitative Test?
- Have symptoms such as fatigue, jaundice, or dark urine
- Experience anaemia after taking specific medications or eating fava beans
- Have a family history of G6PD deficiency
- Are planning to start treatment with high-risk drugs like primaquine or dapsone
- Belong to populations where G6PD deficiency is common (e.g., African, Mediterranean, or Asian descent)
- Have a newborn with jaundice of unknown cause
What Is the Purpose of a G6PD Quantitative Reflex Qualitative Test?
The test helps determine whether your red blood cells have enough G6PD enzyme to protect against oxidative damage. It is a preventive test that helps avoid drug-induced haemolysis, assists in diagnosing enzyme-related anaemias, and supports safe medical decision-making.
