Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of G6PD deficiency include some foods such as fava beans, some medications and infections.
Common Risk Factor
- Common risk factors in the development of G6PD include:
- Foods such as fava beans in G6PD mutation carriers
- Medications [1]
- Aspirin
- Antimalarials: quinine, primaquine, pamaquine, and chloroquine
- Sulfonamides: mafenide, sulfanilamide, sulfamethoxazole
- Thiazolesulfone
- Methylene blue
- Analgesics: phenazopyridine and acetanilide
- Rasburicase
- Some non-sulfa antibiotics such as furazolidone, isoniazid, dapsone, nalidixic acid, nitrofurantoin).
- High dose vitamin C
- Bacterial, viral and rickettsial infection
- Some chemicals: Hanna in tattos and hair dyes[2]
Less Common Risk Factors
- Less common risk factors in the development of G6PD include:
- Moth balls (naphthalene)
- Diabetic ketoacidosis[3]
- Amyl nitrite or isobutyl nitrite in RUSH ( sexual enhancement drug)[4]
