What is G6PD Qualitative Test
The G6PD Qualitative Test is a laboratory test used to determine if a person has enough glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) enzyme in their red blood cells. The test is performed on a blood sample collected from the patient, and the results are usually available within a few days. The test is important in diagnosing and managing conditions like hemolytic anemia, which can result from a deficiency in G6PD enzyme.
