Hemolytic Anemias- Part 4: G6PD Deficiency; Pathophysiology,morphology, clinical features, diagnosis & treatment
Hemolytic Disease Due to Red Cell Enzyme Defects:
Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency
Is the most common enzymopathy
Estimated to affect over 400 million people worldwide
Hereditary disease, recessive X-linked trait
Resulting in deficient or impaired enzyme function
Reducing the ability of red cells to protect themselves against oxidative injuries and lead to hemolysis.
In this video i have tried to simplify the concepts of G6PD deficiency. Do share if you find this video useful.
