G6PD may be falsely normal during or soon after hemolysis; timing matters.
Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase is a laboratory blood test. It is commonly used as a enzyme deficiency. The test checks an enzyme that protects red blood cells.
Doctors may also include it in hemolytic anaemia review assessments. The result should be read with the laboratory range, symptoms, medical history and other relevant results. The listed sample type is Blood (EDTA).
A routine blood draw is low risk. You may feel a brief sting when the needle goes in, and some people notice temporary bruising, soreness or light-headedness afterwards. Fainting and infection are uncommon. The sample is collected at your home by a trained phlebotomist using sterile equipment, and the draw takes only a few minutes. If you feel unwell during or after collection, tell the phlebotomist or speak to your doctor.
