Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency Unveiled by Diabetic Ketoacidosis: A Dual Dilemma.

Young type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patient with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency occurring hemolysis: A case report

Hemolysis during type 1 diabetes mellitus treatment in patients with Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency has been reported, but the underlying pathogenesis is not fully clarified. In this report, we described a girl in whom hemolysis occurred after Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) treatment. Determination of G6PD activity and gene analysis confirmed the diagnosis of G6PD deficiency. ...

Diabetic ketoacidosis does not precipitate haemolysis in patients with the Mediterranean variant of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.

Diabetic ketoacidosis is traditionally stated as being capable of precipitating haemolysis in patients deficient in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). This, however, is based on only a few case reports with inadequate documentation. A study was therefore conducted to review the subject in people with the Mediterranean variant of G6PD deficiency. Perusal of the medical records for the yea...

Long-Term Follow-up of a Case with Proprotein Convertase 1/3 Deficiency: Transient Diabetes Mellitus with Intervening Diabetic Ketoacidosis During Growth Hormone Therapy

Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency and Diabetes Mellitus with Severe Retinal Complications in a Sardinian Population, Italy

BACKGROUND Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is one of the most common human genetic abnormalities, with a high prevalence in Sardinia, Italy. Evidence indicates that G6PD-deficient patients are protected against vascular disease. Little is known about the relationship between G6PD deficiency and diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this study was to compare G6PD deficiency preva...

G 6 PD deficiency induced hemolysis in diabetic twins.

We report hemolysis due to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) deficiency in two Egyptian monozygotic brothers, at the onset of diabetes type 1. Hemolysis occurred following the treatment of hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis (one twin). It was related to unknown G-6-PD deficiency. The fall in glucose availability after the treatment of hyper glycemia is proposed as a possible etiology for h...
