G6PD is a crucial enzyme that protects red blood cells from oxidative damage by maintaining the stability of cellular membranes. A deficiency in this enzyme can lead to hemolytic anemia. In this condition, red blood cells break down faster than the body can produce them. This is especially common in response to certain triggers, such as infections, specific medications, or the consumption of fava beans (a condition known as "favism").
Early detection of G6PD deficiency allows individuals to avoid known triggers, t...

The Hb (Hemoglobin) test measures the amount of hemoglobin in your blood, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. This test helps detect conditions like anemia, polycythemia, and other blood-related disorders. It is often done as part of a complete blood count (CBC) or during a routine health checkup.
