correlation between hemolysis and jaundice in glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient neonates
Authors
abstract
glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) deficiency is an enzyme deficiency of the red blood cells and the most important disease of hexose monophosphate pathway. the role of hemolysis in the pathophysiology of neonatal jaundice due to g6pd deficiency is in contencious. our aim is to study the role of hemolysis in neonatal jaundice associated with g6pd deficiency. this prospective descriptive study has been done on 244 neonates who were admitted with the symptoms and signs of icter to the ali-asghar children hospital, affiliated to iran university of medical sciences, tehran, iran, during april 2006 to april 2007. two groups of the babies, g6pd-defcient with neonatal jaundice and g6pd-normal with neonatal jaundice, were compared based on the parameters related to hemolysis such as hemoglobin, reticulocyte count and bilirubin level. the criteria of hemolysis in our study were reticulocyte count more than >5% and hemoglobin less than 0.05). the present study indicate, g6pd- deficiency as a major cause of neonatal jaundice and hemolysis is not a main determinant of neonatal jaundice in g6pd-deficient babies and most of them have non hemolytic jaundice.

Effect 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...

BACKGROUND Although glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) deficiency is prevalent in African Americans, their risk of associated neonatal hyperbilirubinemia has not been prospectively studied. OBJECTIVE To compare hemolysis and the risk of hyperbilirubinemia among African American, G-6-PD-deficient neonates (study group) and G-6-PD-normal control subjects. METHODS Consecutive, healthy,...

Background: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common enzyme disorder in human. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of G6PD deficiency among children and evaluate its association with ABO/Rh blood groups. Method: Blood samples of 3401 asymptomatic children were analyzed and compared with 317 children who were admitted to hospital because of hemolys...

Aluminium Phosphide poisoning and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency are two commonly seen clinical presentations in Iran. However, hemolysis associated with Aluminium Phosphide poisoning is very rare. We report a case of concurrent Aluminium Phosphide poisoning and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in a 24 year old man presenting with intravascular hemolysis. Key words...
full textProtective Effect of Quercetin on Oxidative Stress in Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase-Deficient Erythrocytes in Vitro
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient subjects are vulnerable to oxidative stress. Quercetin, a flavonoids, has been employed as a potent oxygen-free radical scavenger in order to assess the protective effects of quercetin against H2O2-induced oxidative damage in G6PD-deficient and normal human erythrocytes. Erythrocytes of G6PD-deficient (n = 10) and normal (n = 10) subjects were ...
