Does anybody have a mnemonic for the drugs that cause hemolysis in G6PD deficiency? I'm clueless... Thanks! Adam
Would this be: G6PD deficiency leads to hemolysis, hem is converted into bilirubin and biliverdin, there is now hyperbilirubinemia, and since bile pigments are made up of bilirubin and biliverdin, there is increase in bile, leading to gallstones?
My professor has written G6PD deficiency, but neglected von Gierke's disease (G6P deficiency) in a list of causes of hyperuricemia. This leaves me with one of two conclusions: he missed von Gierke, or he made a mistake and wrote G6PD deficiency instead of G6P deficiency. Uptodate on G6PD...

Actually hoping to get an answer for this as well. Seems to be that this technique is only useful in females - men will only express one G6PD isoform regardless. Actually further googling revealed the answer by Dr Sattar himself " Pathoma Hi X , G6PD isoforms was the inital means of determining monoclonality (decades ago) and it was useful in females only. More recently, monoclonality is ...
