Overview
Laboratory Findings
Direct evidence[1]
- Absent/decreased activity of galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase/galactokinase/epimerase in blood
- Increased concentration of galactose-1-phosphate in RBCs
- Raised levels of galactose in blood and urine
Indirect evidence
- Active/recurrent sepsis, usually by E.coli[2]: Polymorphonuclear leukocytosis, elevated CRP, E.coli isolated from blood culture
- Direct and/or indirect hyperbilirubinemia[3]
