Prevalence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G-6-PD) using methemoglobin reduction test in blood donors of Chiang Mai Province
Introduction: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is an enzyme that protects RBCs from oxidative damage by free radicals in food, drug, chemical or infectious conditions.

| description | Introduction: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is an enzyme that protects RBCs from oxidative damage
by free radicals in food, drug, chemical or infectious conditions. If blood from donors with G-6-PD deficiency
is transfused to patients, it can cause hemolysis, especially in exchange transfusion for neonate.
Objective: To study the prevalence of G-6-PD deficiency in blood donors of Chiang Mai Province using
methemoglobin reduction test.
Materials and methods: One thousand and seventeen EDTA blood samples obtained from blood donors at
Regional Blood Center X Chiang Mai, Thai Red Cross Society were subjected to screen of G-6-PD deficiency using
methemoglobin reduction test.
Results: Nine hundred and ten samples (89.5%) were found to have normal G-6-PD activity. Thirty three
samples (3.2%) were partially deficient and 74 samples (7.3%) were completely deficient for G-6-PD enzyme.
The prevalence of G-6-PD deficiency in blood donors was estimated to be 10.5%, with males being 6.4% and
females being 4.1%.
Conclusions: Prevalence of G-6-PD deficiency in blood donors of Chiang Mai Province is considerably high.
Thus, screening for G-6-PD deficiency among blood donors in this area and other areas with high prevalence is
recommended in order to suggest the donation of blood components instead of red blood cells.
