Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most prevalent global enzymopathy with risks of hemolytic anemia and hyperbilirubinemia. G6PD activity peaks at birth and decreases during the first year of life. Therefore, partitioned reference intervals (RI) are important for diagnosing G6PD deficiencies in pediatric patients. Given the paucity of pediatric RIs and difficulties in direct...
