Looking For A Doctor Who's Specialized In G6PD
Question: Hi, Looking for a doctor who's specialized in G6PD
Brief Answer:
G-6-PD shows borderline activity
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The screening test posted by you shows borderline G-6-PD activity.
Further quantitative levels of G-6-PD is required to know the exact levels of G-6-PD.
Deficiency of G-6-PD activity makes red blood cells more prone to hemolysis and certain food items need to be avoided.
I suggest you to get G-6-PD levels done and consult a hematologist subsequently.
Thanks and take care
