Study of Glucose - 6 - Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency In Neonatal Jaundice
The enzyme, Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), deficiency leads to impaired production of reduced glutathione and predisposes the red cells to damage by oxidative metabolites, causing hemolysis. Deficient neonates may manifest clinically as hyperbilirubinemia or even kernicterus. Screening for G6PD deficiency and recognition of prevalence of the enzyme deficiency in individual communitie...
متن کاملFrequency of Glucose 6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency in Neonatal Jaundice
Objective: To determine the frequency of Glucose 6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in neonates presenting with jaundice. Material and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted at Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) Department of Child Health, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar from January 2008 to June 2008. A total number of 283 newborns, aged 1-14 days of either sex admitted with jaun...
متن کاملErythrocyte glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and neonatal jaundice.
Four years data from Special Care Baby Unit revealed neonatal jaundice (NNJ) as the commonest cause of hospitalization (1944 cases of NNJ out of 6454 admitted neonates). Majority (47.5%) of babies with NNJ presented between 4-7 days of birth. One hundred and sixty infants with NNJ were positive for Glucose 6 Phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, of whom 153 were males and 7 females. Eighty...
متن کاملGlucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency and Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia
Background: Jaundice is affecting over 60-80 percent of neonates in the first week of life. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, which is an important cause of pathologic hyperbilirubinemia, can lead to hemolytic anemia, jaundice and kernicterus. The present study was performed to determine the prevalence of G6PD deficiency among icteric neonates in Shirvan, Iran. Methods: This...
متن کاملGlucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase status and neonatal jaundice.
Neonatal jaundice and its relationship to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) status of healthy, term Chinese infants was evaluated in 220 G6PD-deficient infants, 26 intermediate infants who were observed for 3 weeks, and 116 normal (control) infants. Each infant was free of isoimmunisation, cephalhaematomas, or contusions. The mode of labour, method of delivery, and type of feeds had no a...
