Symptoms of G6PD Deficiency
Most people with G6PD deficiency don't have any symptoms. Others might have symptoms of hemolytic anemia if many RBCs are destroyed.
These can include:
paleness (in darker-skinned kids, paleness is sometimes best seen in the mouth, especially on the lips or tongue)
extreme tiredness or dizziness
fast heartbeat
fast breathing or shortness of breath
jaundice (the skin and eyes look yellow)
an enlarged spleen
dark, tea-colored pee
Mild symptoms usually don't need medical treatment. As the body makes new red blood cells, the anemia will improve. If symptoms are more severe, a child may need care in a hospital.
