Patient's question:
【Screening Center】After the re for your baby's newborn disease screening, the G6PD result is still low, highly suspected of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency. What should we do? The baby is doing fine.Doctor's answer:
This disease is usually asymptomatic if there are no specific triggers. It generally does not cause symptoms like fever, cough, or runny nose, which are relatively common. If the disease reappears under special triggers and acute hemolysis occurs, it may require hospital treatment if severe. In necessary cases, the baby may need a thorough genetic examination to confirm the diagnosis. However, there is no need to worry too much, as medical technology is very advanced, and the child will be fine.
