Evaluation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency without hemolysis in icteric newborns at Mazandaran province, Iran.
This study was carried out with the aim of evaluating the prevalence of G6PD deficiency, the prevalence of hemolysis with enzyme deficiency and determining the severity of icterus in the hospitalized newborns in our hospital. This prospective descriptive study has been conducted on 1018 icteric newborns admitted to the Bo-Ali Hospital from 2004 to 2007. The dataset included: age, sex, total and...
متن کاملEffect of hemolysis and hyperbilirubinemia in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-deficient neonates
Objective: Recently, the role of hemolysis in the pathophysiology of hyperbilirubinemia in glucose-6phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient neonates has been questioned and decreased bilirubin conjugation has been suggested. We conducted a study to evaluate the effect of hemolysis on these neonates at the 17-Shahrivar Children Hospital in Rasht. Methods: In this cross-sectional s...
متن کاملHyperbilirubinemia among African American, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-deficient neonates.
BACKGROUND Although glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) deficiency is prevalent in African Americans, their risk of associated neonatal hyperbilirubinemia has not been prospectively studied. OBJECTIVE To compare hemolysis and the risk of hyperbilirubinemia among African American, G-6-PD-deficient neonates (study group) and G-6-PD-normal control subjects. METHODS Consecutive, healthy,...
متن کاملGlucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in male premature and term neonates.
BACKGROUND Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity is higher in term neonates than in adults. Some studies have suggested that activity may be even higher in preterm infants. OBJECTIVES To determine if G6PD activity is higher in preterm than term neonates, and whether higher activity would interfere with diagnosis of G6PD deficiency in premature infants. METHODS G6PD activity was ...
متن کاملdetermining the frequency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in newborn infants in shahrekord
background and aims: glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) is the first enzyme in the route of pentose phosphate metabolism. this route fulfills an effective role in removing oxidant metabolites. deficiency of this enzyme causes decline in energy regeneration of red blood cells and hemolysis. in this study, application of fluorescence staining method in diagnosing the frequency of g6pd defic...
