G6PD deficiency is a genetic condition that can lead to severe complications such as hemolytic anemia. While this condition can be life-threatening, there isn't a specific number of deaths attributed solely to G6PD deficiency as it usually depends on other factors and individual health circumstances. Treatment and management can help prevent serious outcomes.
In 2010, approximately 2.5 million people died in the United States.
An estimated 56 million people died worldwide in 1968.

The most significant consequence of this disorder is hemolytic anemia, which is usually episodic, but the vast majority of people with G6PD deficiency have no symptoms.

Can you be around fire works if you have g6pd
Anyone (male or female) with G6PD was BORN with it!People that are G6PD deficient are so because of a mutated gene on the X chromosome. In some cases, the symptoms do not appear later on in life as red cell production decreases; however, the person is deficient from conception, as their body is unable to to make any, or enough, g6pd. To put it in laymen's terms, G6PD is involved in a cellular process that helps your red blood cell's ability to fight oxidative stress. Too much stress, they die, and so can your body. However, if all foods, meds and other contraindicated substances are avoided (just like Superman avoided Kryptonite), most people can do quite well and live symptom free!For the most up to date and accurate information on the web concerning G6PD go to: g6pddeficiency.org
Yes. Direct DNA testing and sequencing of the G6PD gene are possible, and there is also a fast an inexpensive test called the "Beutler flourescent spot test" that can be performed on the blood of a patient suspected of having G6PD.
Tramadol is not on the list of contraindicated drugs for those with G6PD. Remember to always tell your doctor and pharmacist that you are G6PD Deficient and have them verify that the medicine is allowable for your use. An answer of 'probably' isn't really acceptable from a doctor making $300 an hour ;)

G6PD or galactosemia.The baby is not able to metabolized galactose in the body causing mental retardation.Soy milk is recommended for this babies.
The acronym G6PD stands for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. It is sometimes referred to as G6PDH and is an enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway.
