Test : Glucose – 6- Phosphate Dehydrogenase Screen, Blood.
Indications : This test is used to detect drug sensitive populations of Red cells due to G-6-PD deficiency; to determine the cause of hemolysis. G-6-PD deficient hemolysis may also be secondary to acute bacterial or viral infections and metabolic disorders such as acidosis.
Physiology : G-6-PD quantitation may be useful if deficiency is detecting in screening test.
Normal Range : G-6-PD enzyme activity detected.
Test Method : Fluorescent NADPH spot test.
