Of course! Often called the “glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase level assessment,” the G6PD Deficiency (Quantitative) test quantifies the G6PD enzyme’s activity in red blood cells. Red blood cells need G6PD to be shielded from oxidative damage. Hemolytic anemia can result from an enzyme deficiency, especially when the body is under stress from certain drugs, infections, or other oxidative stressors.
The addition of “health heart diagnostics” Healthesh to the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase level assessment description highlights the significance of this test for cardiovascular health. A G6PD deficiency that causes hemolytic anemia can significantly strain the cardiovascular system. Red blood cell degeneration occurs quickly, which reduces oxygen delivery to tissues, including the heart, which may have to beat faster and harder to keep up with the body’s oxygen needs.
