Patient's question:
Can G6PD deficiency be completely treated through blood transfusion? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long does it take to improve? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
No. Because this disease is inherited through chromosomes, not something that can change chromosomes with a blood transfusion. This disease is caused by a congenital enzyme deficiency and has a certain family hereditary tendency. Currently, it cannot be cured. In daily life, it is important to avoid contact with sulfonamide drugs, camphor, high doses of vitamin C, eating broad beans, etc., to prevent the induction of hemolysis. Some medications should also be avoided, otherwise the disease may occur. It will not affect the child's growth and development.
