Neonatal jaundice and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in Basrah

Abstract: In a study on a group of 186 newborn babies presenting with jaundice, erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency was detected in 95 (51%) of the patients. The incidence of severe hyperbilirubinaemia appeared to be much greater in G6PD-deficient infants (46%) than in infants who did not have the red cell defect (15%). No change was found in this association when ABO incompatibility was excluded. Phototherapy did not reduce the need for exchange transfusion, which was necessary in 27 babies.… Show more

“…22 On the other hand, there are controversial results as the association between ABO incompatibility and G6PDH enzyme deficiency increases the severity of hemolysis and UCH. [23][24][25][26] Therefore, the levels of G6PD, PK enzymes, reducing substances in urine, thyroid function tests, and sepsis screening were studied due to the detection of severe hemolysis and UCH that could not be controlled by phototherapy and IVIG in our case with ABO incompatibility-related hemolysis and UCH.…”

“…Sarılıklı G6PD enzim eksikliği olan grupta sarılığın başladığı gündeki total bilirubin değeri, maksimum total bilirubin değeri ve patolojik ikter belirgin yük-sek bulundu (p=0,04, p=0,002, P=0,001) (Tablo 2). Tartışma G6PD enzim eksikliği yenidoğanlarda hiperbilirubinemi ve kernikterus riskini arttırdığından G6PD enziminin yenidoğan döne-minde taranması önem kazanmıştır [14]. G6PD enzim eksikliği tarama programlarının çoğu kordon kanında yapılmıştır.…”
