G6PD (Glucose 6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase)
Over the last 5 Years we made an impact that is strong & we have long way to go.
Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) is an important enzyme in the body that helps protect red blood cells from damage caused by oxidative stress. A deficiency in this enzyme can lead to hemolytic anemia, a condition where red blood cells are destroyed faster than they can be made. The G6PD test is used to diagnose G6PD deficiency, which is a genetic disorder.
