Understanding Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G-6-PD),Qualitative
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of red blood cells by protecting them from oxidative damage. A deficiency in this enzyme can lead to hemolytic anemia. In this condition, red blood cells break down faster than the body can produce them. This is particularly triggered by factors such as infections, certain medications, or the consumption of fava beans, a condition known as "favism”.
