Overview
Other diagnostic studies for G6PD deficiency include CBC, Lactate dehydrogenase, Haptoglobin, Urinalysis, Peripheral blood smear.
Other Diagnostic Studies
G6PD deficiency is suspected in patients with positive family history who develop jaundice and anemia after exposure to any causes. Other diagnostic studies include:[1][2]
- CBC and reticulocyte count (increased reticulocyte count in G6PD deficiency)
- Lactate dehydrogenase: increased in hemolysis
- Haptoglobin: decreased in hemolysis
- Urinalysis: hematuria
- Coombs test (direct antiglobulin test): negative in G6PD deficency
- Liver enzymes for rulling out other causes of jaundice
- Urinary hemosiderin
- Peripheral blood smear: Heinz bodies (denatured hemoglobin)
- G6PD screen: to assess for the mutation or defect at the genomic level
