However, breastfeeding an infant with
G6PD deficiency could lead to hemolytic anemia.
77pc had
G6PD deficiency, an inherited glucose deficiency that affects functions of red blood cells, while a slight increase in the prevalence of other genetic diseases was registered.
Early phagocytosis of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient erythrocytes parasitized by Plasmodium falciparium may explain malaria protection in
G6PD deficiency.
According to UAE GDA, the most common genetic disorders in UAE include thalassemia, sickle cell anaemia, haemophilia,
G6PD deficiency and cystic fibrosis.
However, Aspirin can be used with caution in
G6PD deficiency, breast feeding, chronic or recurrent peptic ulcer, severe renal or hepatic damage.
Neonates with congenital anomalies and syndromes, Rh incompatibility and
G6PD deficiency were excluded.

G6PD deficiency, Oxidative stress, unstable haemoglobins, congenital heinz body anaemia Basket cells (half ghost Oxidant damage,
G6PD deficiency, cells/Blister cells) Unstable haemoglobins Spherocytes Hereditary spherocytosis, ABO incompatibility, Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (warm antibody type), Severe burns Teardrop red cell Idiopathic myelofibrosis, (dacrocytes, myelophthisic anaemia, lacrymocytes) thalassemias
The most common genetic blood disorder in the Omani society is the
G6PD deficiency as 28% of males and 12% of females have the gene of the disease.
5% of world population carry one or two genes for
G6PD deficiency and 2.
In active
G6PD deficiency, Heinz bodies can be seen in red blood cells on a blood film, liver enzymes (to exclude other causes of jaundice) and Lactate dehydrogenase (elevated in hemolysis and a marker of hemolytic severity).
Hemolytic anemia after voluntary ingestion of henna (Lawsonia inermis) decoction by a young girl with
G6PD deficiency.
5] The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of frequency of sickle cell disease,
G6PD deficiency, and [alpha] and [beta] thalassemia in healthy tribal medical students and to increase their own awareness about the disease they are experiencing and increase sensitization toward social awareness.
