Test ID G6PDC Glucose 6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase Enzyme Activity, Blood


Specimen Required


Only orderable as part of a profile. For more information see:

-HAEV1 / Hemolytic Anemia Evaluation, Blood

-EEEV1 / Red Blood Cell (RBC) Enzyme Evaluation, Blood


Useful For

Evaluation of individuals with episodic or chronic Coombs-negative nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia

 

Rapid testing to assess glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) enzyme capacity prior to rasburicase or other therapies that may cause hemolysis or methemoglobinemia in G6PD deficient patients

 

May aid in the creation of a comprehensive patient profile and can ensure appropriate patient monitoring for developing anemia
