Direct answer: This G6PD blood test Pune, detects Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase deficiency that can cause red blood cell breakdown.

A deficiency may lead to haemolytic anaemia, where red blood cells break down prematurely after infections, certain foods, or medications. This test supports early diagnosis of inherited enzyme disorders.

Direct answer: Individuals with unexplained anaemia, newborn jaundice, or family history of G6PD deficiency.
Doctors commonly recommend this test for infants with prolonged jaundice, patients with sudden anaemia after infections or medications, or before prescribing drugs known to trigger haemolysis.
