the G6PD had the scare of me! kasimy son ng pina newborn screening ko siya lumabas na G6PD positive siya!
nag panic ako! i have to take him to UP PGH to have him re examine because that is S.O.P but i have to wait for 2 weeks for the results

while waiting super sa research ako sa internet kung ano yun
in layman's term, parang iron deficiency that in results eh bawal ang taong mayroon nito to a certain kind of medicines as in strictly bawal kasi pwedeng makasama sa ang effect ng medicine sa kanya, and bawal ang certain foods like beans basta ng daming bawal it can also cause death

and then i got the results of 2nd newborn screening ang nag NEGATIVE ANG ANAK KO FOR G6PD... THANK GOD ANG CAUSE LANG PALA KAYA NAG POSITIVE NUNG UNA AY DAHIL CONTAMINATED UN PAPER NA GINAMIT SA KANYA....

im not particularly sure of a layman's term for G6PD.
G6PD is actually an enzyme, something that hastens a process in our body. it hastens conversion of carbo to energy. it also protects red blood cells from  being easily destroyed.In its absence, red blood cells are easily destroyed such that one may be noticed to be pale. too much rbc destruction leaves much wastes, causing the urine to be tea-colored and the skin and eyes yellow (jaundice)
The attacks are usually trigerred b stress and infection
Treatment of attacks, transfusion and steroids

halu mommies! am scanning yung mga posts buti i read this one.. i have a 2 yr old son and G6PD Deficiency cia.. Actually yung ang pinaka least ma maddetect sa new born screening (mas indi cia ganun ka grabe like retardation and so on).

may site akong naresearch bout this one G6PD deficiency severe case niya is FAVISM bec yung mga bawal na food is beans nga pro particulary fava beans eh sbi ng pedia ng anak ko wala naman dito sa phils. at wala ciang medication or whatever basta avoid lang ang bawal na food.

hello mommies!!!
I'm a mother of 1 son and 1 daughter. My son is 2 y/o and my daugther is 7 mon old. I gave birth to my second baby who has an infection because she adopt my infection. I left my baby in NICU for 1 week. Before kami umuwi I asked her Pedia for newborn screening but the film they used were not available. During our visit to her pedia after 1 month, that's only time na na-newborn screning. Im so eager to know the result for after 1month. My daughter newborn screening got a positive result which is G6PD. Im so worried and natatakot ako kasi baka kung ano na un. The pedia explained to us what we will do. For the confirmation pinapapunta kami UP-PGH ata un institute na un. Di kami naka pag pa-confirm dahil sa work namin ng husband ko. Dito ako sa lipa siya jan sa manila. It's hard for us to have the same sched. as per my brother in-law G6PD is the cause of anemia and avoid foods like beans, soya, Vitamin K and madami pa e.
1. Ok lang ba na di ko na pina-confirm?
2. What are the formula milk without Vitamin K?
Sana lahat ng ngpositive sa newborn screening sa G6PD pansamantala lang....

hi jacas! my daughter issey is g6pd postive kht pinaconfirm namin. better na paconfirm mo nrin baby mo para matahimik loob mo. iwas nalang talaga sa bawal na food. hindi na daw nwwla yun sabi sa research

[ysa]

wala naman.. just want to know.
wasn't able to get the result of my baby's NBS.
after a month, i went back to my  baby's pedia for my baby's BCG vaccine, wala naman siyang sinasabi. since her charges a bit pricey, so i decided to transfer to another pedia. so on the 2nd month ng chek up hindi nako bumalik sa pedia ng baby ko.
so yun.

and tama ba, Hindi puwede ang paracetamol for kids with G6PD?

[cheiz]

It's still best to have it confirm para they can also give you a low down on the precautions and what to expect.

Kapag nag positive ang baby thats the time na inform k agad ng pedia mo.  Kung wala pang result NBS mo most probably negative baby mo.

Mas maganda pa rin mg pa confirm sa UP PGH kasi dun lang malalaman kung talagang G6PD baby and me ibibigay list ng mga dapat iwasan pagkain, inumin, chemical & kung ano dapat gawin kapag lumabas symptoms

Paracetamol is safe to be taken by a person with this condition only in therapeutic doses.

bawal menthol, tofu, antibiotic in sulfa group, medicines for malaria

By the way my son is G6PD deficiency. bwal soy sauce pero favorite niya sawsawan toyo and likes adobo
