Show Notes

In this next episode, it might leave you feeling red in the face. We will dive into the world of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. A condition that can lead to hemolytic anemia, a condition where the red blood cells break down prematurely.

We'll discuss the genetic condition and its causes, the signs and symptoms your patient might present with, the diagnosis and treatments such as avoiding triggers, regular blood tests and possibly blood transfusions.

Join Dr. Niket Sonpal on this often overlooked condition.
