Patient's question:
Hello, what is the normal G6PD value? Are there any good methods for treatment? Please give some advice from the doctor.Doctor's answer:
G6PD is an enzyme present in human red blood cells that assists in the metabolism of glucose. During this metabolic process, it produces NADPH (reduced coenzyme II), which can protect red blood cells from the threat of oxidative substances. When G6PD is deficient, if the body is exposed to specific oxidative substances or takes certain medications, red blood cells are easily damaged and may lead to acute hemolytic reactions.
