Patient's question:
Here is the English translation of the provided text, with the carriage returns (·) left unchanged as per your instructions:· Hello Doctor······My daughter is just one month old. When she was born, she was tested for G6PD deficiency (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency) at the local hospital······but she has never had an episode······I don’t know how serious it is······
Doctor's answer:
Sickle cell disease is caused by a gene mutation that regulates glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in red blood cells. It is a hereditary hemolytic disease, more common in males. It is important to pay attention to whether there are hemolytic symptoms, and if so, active treatment is necessary to prevent anemia and acute renal failure. Avoid eating broad beans and their products, and avoid taking drugs with oxidative properties (such as antimalarial drugs, aspartame, vitamin K, sulfonamide drugs, etc.). Actively prevent and treat this disease. It can still be controlled.
