Overview
G6PD deficiency may be classified to into 5 subtypes and gives some approximation of the magnitude of hemolysis an individual may incur in the setting of an oxidative stress.

Risk calculators and risk factors for Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency classification |
G6PD deficiency may be classified according to World Health Organization into 5 subtypes: [1][2]
- Class I: Severe deficiency (<10% activity) with chronic hemolytic anemia.
- Class II: Severe deficiency (<10% activity), with intermittent hemolysis. G6PD Mediterranean deficiency is a class II deficiency.
- Class III: Moderate deficiency (10-60% activity), hemolysis with significant oxidant stress. G6PD A- deficiency is a class III deficiency.
- Class IV: No enzyme deficiency or hemolysis, no clinical sequelae. it has G6PD B, normal wild-type enzyme
- Class V: Increased enzyme activity (more than twice normal), no clinical sequela
