Comparative evaluation of oxidative and biochemical parameters of red cell concentrates (RCCs) prepared from G6PD deficient donors and healthy donors during RCC storage.

Introduction: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common inherited enzyme disorder in red blood cell (RBC). Due to the importance of G6PD enzyme as an antioxidant in RBC, we tried to investigate the oxidative damage in red cell concentrates (RCCs) prepared from donors with G6PD enzyme deficiency in comparison with healthy donors.

Material Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 20 male donors.
