Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is an X-linked disorder affecting some 400 million people worldwide. Though clinically silent, it may result in hemolysis on oxidative stress induced by drugs or infections. Viral hepatitis A with coexisting G6PD deficiency can be devastating associated with severe hemolysis, anemia, renal failure, and hepatic encephalopathy.
葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶(G6PD)缺乏症是一种X连锁疾病,全球约有4亿人受其影响。尽管此种疾病临床上并无症状表现,但在药物或感染引发氧化应激时可能导致溶血。患有G6PD缺乏症的甲型病毒性肝炎可能会引发严重溶血、贫血、肾衰竭及肝性脑病,后果严重。
