Effects of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency upon sickle cell anaemia.

چکیده
The levels of glycated haemoglobin, fetal haemoglobin and methaemoglobin in 618 Saudi subjects were determined. A statistically significant decrease in the percentage of glycated haemoglobin was observed in all haemoglobinopathic groups studied in comparison to normal controls. However, there was no significant difference in the percentage of glycated haemoglobin in patients with sickle cell anaemia when compared with those sickle cell subjects who were also glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient. This suggests that there is little survival advantage or disadvantage in the combination of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and sickle cell anaemia.

Sixteen episodes of acute anaemia necessitating urgent blood transfusion have been investigated in 13 children with sickle cell anaemia. In five out of seven episodes there was evidence of increased haemolysis while in 10 out of 16 episodes a profound fall in reticulocyte count indicated marrow erythroid cell failure. Cold agglutinins active at room temperature were detected in 13 episodes, and...

متن کاملHaemoglobinopathies and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in a Scandinavian perspective.
Haemoglobinopathies (mainly thalassaemia and sickle-cell anaemia syndromes) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) are globally among the most prevalent single-genomic diseases. About 3% of the world's population are heterozygotic for beta-thalassaemia and about 1-2% for sickle-cell anaemia, and it is estimated that more than 400 million people are affected by G6PD deficiency w...

Genes for thalassaemias, sickle cell disorders and Glucose-6- phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency are known to be associated with prevalent malaria infection. The prevalence in the heterozygote state for sickle cell anaemia (SCA), G6PD and alpha thalassaemia is between 25-30% in Nigerians but the prevalence for the beta thalassaemia trait (BTT) is low. Under-diagnosis of BTT may arise fro...
