G6PD (Qualitative)

The G6PD (Qualitative) at‑home screen detects reduced glucose‑6‑phosphate dehydrogenase activity from a finger‑prick sample collected by certified technicians, giving a clear "deficient" or "normal" result rather than a numeric enzyme value. Knowing G6PD status is important because this X‑linked condition—more common in the region—can cause haemolysis when patients are exposed to certain oxidant drugs, some antibiotics or antimalarials, infections, or foods such as fava beans, so results help clinicians and pharmacists across Dubai and the UAE choose safe medications and dietary advice. The service delivers fast, professionally collected results at home, but any positive or borderline result should be followed by confirmatory quantitative testing and clinical consultation before altering treatment.
