Question
Can G6PD deficiency patients be cured permanently through blood transfusion? Do they need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to see improvement after treatment?
Answer
G6PD deficiency is a congenital enzyme deficiency disease caused by chromosome inheritance, with a certain degree of familial heredity, and there is currently no curative method. Blood transfusion treatment cannot change the patient’s genetic genes, so it cannot achieve the effect of complete cure. Patients should avoid contacting sulfonamide drugs, camphor, large doses of vitamin C, and eating broad beans in daily life to prevent the occurrence of hemolytic anemia. In addition, certain drugs should also be avoided to prevent the induction of the disease. This condition will not affect the normal growth and development of children.
