Test Overview
This test checks for G6PD Deficiency in the newborn using G6PD as the marker analyte.
The G6PD Neonatal Screen Dried Blood Spot test checks for G6PD deficiency in newborns. It is a type of blood test that is commonly performed on babies shortly after birth as part of routine newborn screening.
G6PD deficiency can cause hemolytic anemia, which is a condition in which the body destroys red blood cells at a faster rate than it can produce them. This can cause a range of symptoms, including jaundice, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Early detection and treatment of G6PD deficiency can help prevent serious complications and improve the baby's overall health.
