Overview
Effective measures for the primary prevention of G6PD deficency include avoiding triggers.
Primary Prevention
Effective measures for the primary prevention of G6PD defeceincy include:[1]
- Avoiding triggers ( some foods and drugs)
Hepatitis A and B vaccines are recommended for G6PD defeceincy patients to prevent attacks due to infection.[2] Other primary prevention strategies include:
- [Strategy 1]
- [Strategy 2]
- [Strategy 3]

Overview
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is an X-linked recessive hereditary disease featuring abnormally low levels of the G6PD enzyme, which plays an important role in red blood cell function. Individuals with the disease may exhibit non-immune hemolytic anemia in response to a number of causes. It is closely linked to favism, a disorder characterized by a hemolytic reaction to consumption of broad beans, with a name derived from the Italian name of the broad bean (fava). Sometimes the name, favism, is alternatively used to refer to the enzyme deficiency as a whole.
Primary Prevention
- The most important measure is prevention - avoidance of the drugs and foods that cause hemolysis.
- Vaccination against some common pathogens (e.g. hepatitis A) may prevent infection-induced attacks.
