What is a G6PD test, and why is it performed?

The G6PD test checks for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, an inherited enzyme deficiency. This test is crucial to identify individuals with this deficiency as it can cause red blood cells to break down, leading to anemia or hemolysis triggered by certain foods, medications, or infections.

How is the G6PD test conducted?

The G6PD test typically involves collecting a blood sample, often through a simple finger prick or venous blood draw. The sample is then analyzed in a laboratory to measure G6PD enzyme levels.

Who might need a G6PD test?

Individuals with a family history of G6PD deficiency or those experiencing symptoms like anemia, jaundice, or hemolysis after taking certain medications or consuming specific foods might require a G6PD test. Additionally, before starting certain medications known to cause hemolysis in G6PD-deficient individuals, doctors might recommend this test as a precautionary measure.
