G6PD Deficiency

Obligatory

1. Must not donate if:
Severe.

2. If accepted, must inform:
Transplant Centre, Collection centre and, If BM donor, the anesthetist.

Additional Information

This is an X linked red cell enzyme deficiency that is variable in its severity. Suitability as a donor should be discussed with a Designated Medical Officer.  The condition would be transmissible to recipient of stem cells so Transplant Centres need to undertake their own risk assessment.

Reason for Change

To improve clarity and provide additional information.
