G6PD Deficiency is a genetic condition where the body lacks enough of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). This enzyme is crucial for protecting red blood cells from damage. Without it, red blood cells can break down prematurely, leading to a condition called hemolytic anemia. People with G6PD Deficiency may experience symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, and dark urine, especially after exposure to certain triggers such as infections, certain foods (like fava beans), or specific medications. The condition is more common in males and is often inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern.
