Fulminant hemolysis in glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency
نویسندگان
چکیده
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is an X-linked disorder affecting some 400 million people worldwide. Though clinically silent, it may result in hemolysis on oxidative stress induced by drugs or infections. Viral hepatitis A with coexisting G6PD deficiency can be devastating associated with severe hemolysis, anemia, renal failure, and hepatic encephalopathy.

متن کاملEffect of hemolysis and hyperbilirubinemia in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-deficient neonates
Objective: Recently, the role of hemolysis in the pathophysiology of hyperbilirubinemia in glucose-6phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient neonates has been questioned and decreased bilirubin conjugation has been suggested. We conducted a study to evaluate the effect of hemolysis on these neonates at the 17-Shahrivar Children Hospital in Rasht. Methods: In this cross-sectional s...
