Overview
There is no major role for screening for hemolytic anemia. In some cases, testing for G6PD deficiency can be done if a patient will be receiving medications that are known to precipitate oxidative stress.
Screening
In some cases, screening for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency can be done to determine if a patient is at risk for hemolytic anemia. Primaquine, sulfa drugs, and fava beans can trigger hemolytic crises in the setting of G6PD deficiency.[1] Rasburicase has also been shown to trigger hemolytic episodes, so G6PD screening is important prior to administration of rasburicase.[1]
