Abstract:

The overall incidence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in Iranian population is estimated around 10%-14.9%. G6PD deficiency is an X-linked disorder and 80% of donors are usually male. At present, donors’ blood is not routinely screened for G6PD deficiency in Iran blood bank where for detecting such enzyme deficiency, reliance is placed on pre-donation data. Thus, the G6PD deficient blood may be transfused to G6PD deficient premature neonates, resulting in prolonged or severe hyperbilirubinemia. Fluorescent spot method was used to determine G6PD deficiency in 450 blood samples collected from male donors stored less than 7 days. This was followed by the pre-donation questionnaires for the history of previous diseases or jaundice. Of which 27 (6%) samples were G6PD deficient. None of the donors tested for G6PD deficiency recalled, and stated in their pre-donation questionnaires, any history of previous diseases or jaundice.            Six percent G6PD deficiencies among the male donors inShirazblood bank was a noteworthy prevalence, which was independent of the pre-donation questionnaires. Therefore, regardless of the questioners' data, it was recommended to screen the blood bags for this enzyme prior to use for simple or exchange transfusion in premature infants.Iran J Med Sci 2005; 30(2): 94-96. Keywords ● G6PD deficiency ● neonates ● exchange transfusion

Glucose-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...

Prevalence of Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) Deficiency in Patients Suspected of Favism in Qaleh Ganj, Southern Iran: A Restriction for Malaria Elimination

 Background and purpose: Despite wide fight against malaria in endemic regions, it is still one of the most serious infectious diseases in some parts of the world. Primakin is effective in treatment and prevention of malaria. However, individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency are at risk for hemolysis and its complications when taking primakin. This study was performe...

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is one of the most common hereditary enzymatic disorders in human, increases the vulnerability of erythrocytes to oxidative stress. It is also characterized by remarkable molecular and biochemical heterogeneity. According to previous investigations, G6PD Cosenza (G1376C) is a common G6PD mutation in some parts of Iran. Therefore in the present...
