General Physician•Shimoga

Hi lybrate-user, hope you are doing well, glucose 6 phospate is an enzyme which prevents oxidative stress in the body deficiency of which causes the rbcs to hemolyse which inturn causes direct billirubin to go high. Chronic high lft may be due to hemolysis. Management includes to avoid foods which cause oxidative stress like red wine, all legumes, blueberries, soya products and certain drugs like sulfa drugs, quinolones, quinine. If it is stil persisting you can consult a hematologist.

There is no cure for G6PD deficiency, and it is a lifelong condition. However, most people with G6PD deficiency have a completely normal life as long as they avoid the triggers.

Asked for male, 31 years old from Gurgaon

Doctor suggests me to test and check the g6pd level. Which test clearly gives or indicates g6pd level, g6pd qualitative or g6pd quantitative?

General Physician•Alappuzha

A qualitative test for g6pd is essential for the correct evaluation.
A normal test result tells your healthcare provider about g6pd activity in your blood cells. A normal—or no g6pdd—result for adults is 5.5 to 20.5 units/gram of haemoglobin. Less than 10% of normal means that you have a severe deficiency and chronic hemolytic anaemia.

Hello, thanks for the query.
Madam, I have seen the details. However, you have mentioned only tsh value, nothing about t3 & t4. It is necessary to know those values also. Tsh 4.6 mu/l is not really high. It must be with in the normal range mentioned in your lab report. In uncontrolled hypothyroidism tsh invariably goes uch higher and t4 values also may be low. Please come back with all the values also mention your weight & height. Thanks.

Asked for female, 37 years old from Bangalore

Hi, I have hypothyroidism and have been taking 88 mcg, but now tsh value is 0.25 and the doctor has asked to take 25 mcg under the assumption that I am taking 50 mcg and we are planning to have baby soon. So can I not take medicine for a week and then check after one week again and resume the dose accordingly?

Your tsh is certainly not under control. I hope your doctor has done tests on thyroid antibodies. You must consult an endocrinologist or physician - internal medicine md and remain under his guidance for monitoring and review till tsh is brought around 2.5 to 4.5.

No relation between hypothyroidism and protein intake. However for any nutritional supplement consult your family doctor for its role as an individual.
