Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Erythrocyte enzyme deficiencies are inherited causes of hemolytic anemia. Some are very common, such as glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, and others are very rare, found in only a few families around the world. Most are autosomal in inheritance, but some are sex-linked and located on the X chromosome. Most enzyme deficiencies result in chronic nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia of variable severity; however, some, such as G6PD, can be hematologically normal with episodic acute hemolysis due to a trigger event such as medications, toxins, or some foods. The RBC enzymopathies do not typically show recurrent pathognomonic changes on the peripheral blood smear other than generic features of hemolytic anemia, although some such as pyruvate kinase deficiency can have echinocytes and pyrimidine 5' nucleotidase (P5NT) deficiency is associated with basophilic stippling. RBC enzyme activity levels are best evaluated as a panel as reticulocytosis can mask some deficient states and comparison to the background enzyme activity is useful.
This is a consultative evaluation of red cell enzyme activity as a potential cause of early red cell destruction.
Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Recent transfusion may mask the patient’s intrinsic enzyme activity and cause unreliable results.
A very high white blood cell count can contribute to interference and falsely raise the activity for some enzymes.
Some enzyme deficiency disorders can be masked by reticulocytosis and comparison of activities of other RBC enzyme activities in this panel can be useful.

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.
