G6PD Deficiency in Dehradun Population

Abstract

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency increases the vulnerability of erythrocytes to oxidative stress. Clinical presentations include acute hemolytic anemia, chronic hemolytic anaemia, neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, and an absence of clinical symptoms. The present study on incidence of Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase was carried out in population of Dehradun region. The study of glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme on the 300 cases was done with the help of commercially available kit for detecting erythrocyte glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase enzymes. Present study concludes that G6PD deficiency is prevalent in population of Dehradun, region, it is of mild type. It is recommended that every subject should get tested for G6PD deficiency and carry G6PDstatus card while visiting doctor.
