Abstract
Key Clinical Message Aspirin-related hemolysis in G6PD deficiency could be late-onset during long-term administration. Hemolytic anemia could continue for a relatively long time in elder patient with G6PD deficiency, which might be related to other adverse events. Abstract Aspirin-related hemolysis in G6PD-deficient individuals was generally reported among patients who received high-dose supplements within several days after ingestion. The safety of long-term and low-dose (50-325 mg/day) aspirin in patients coexist G6PD deficiency and cardiovascular disease is neglected in clinical practice. In this case, we observed a late-onset hemolysis and subsequent fatal subdural hemorrhage in one G6PD-deficient individual who had received long-term and low-dose aspirin. An 83-year-old male was diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke and treated with 100 mg/day aspirin at the emergency room. After admission, the patient was diagnosed with severe G6PD deficiency based on enzyme activity, but no hemolysis occurred within 10-day aspirin therapy in the hospital. Hence, 100 mg/day aspirin was continued on discharge. Two months later, the patient presented acute hemolysis manifested as fatigue, dark urine, and moderate jaundice. Although hemolysis was self-limit in a few days, hemoglobin decline continued for 20 days until a fatal subdural hemorrhage occurred. Our study indicated aspirin-related hemolysis could be late-onset in G6PD-deficient individual even receiving low-dose treatment and is probably linked to subsequent major bleeding events.

Li J, Chen Y, Ou Z, Zhang Y, Liang Z, Deng W, Chen H, Huang W, He Y, Xing S, Yu J, Zeng J. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis in stroke patients. Eur J Neurol 2022; 29:2683-2689. [PMID: 35608963 DOI: 10.1111/ene.15418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2022] [Revised: 04/29/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is a major cause of stroke in Asian countries. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, a hereditary enzyme defect prevalent in Asian countries, has been associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and worse poststroke outcomes. However, the impact of G6PD deficiency on ICAS remains unclear. We aimed to compare the risk of ICAS in stroke patients with and without G6PD deficiency in a Chinese cohort. METHODS We prospectively and consecutively recruited stroke patients from four centers in China. All patients received intracranial artery assessment by magnetic resonance/computed tomography angiography or digital subtraction angiography, as well as G6PD enzyme evaluation. The prevalence, burden, and characteristics of ICAS were compared between patients with and without G6PD deficiency using multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS Among 1593 patients, 116 (63.7%) of 182 patients with G6PD deficiency and 714 (50.6%) of 1411 patients with normal G6PD levels were identified as ICAS. Age, hypertension, diabetes, and G6PD deficiency were independent predictors of ICAS. Among patients with ICAS, G6PD-deficient individuals were more likely to have multiple (≥2 segments) intracranial stenosis (odds ratio [OR] = 1.87, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.25-2.81, p = 0.002). G6PD deficiency increased the risk of ICAS in patients who were male (OR = 1.82, 95% CI = 1.24-2.66, p = 0.002), aged ≥70 years (OR = 2.40, 95% CI = 1.33-4.31, p = 0.004), or hypertensive (OR = 1.88, 95% CI = 1.28-2.77, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Stroke patients with G6PD deficiency have a higher prevalence and ICAS burden than those with normal G6PD, particularly those who are male, older, and hypertensive.

COVID-19 in G6PD-deficient patients, oxidative stress, and neuropathology. Curr Top Med Chem 2022; 22:1307-1325. [PMID: 35578850 DOI: 10.2174/1568026622666220516111122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2021] [Revised: 03/01/2022] [Accepted: 03/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is an enzyme that regulates energy metabolism mainly through the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). It is well known that this enzyme participates in the antioxidant/oxidant balance via the synthesis of energy-rich molecules: nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate reduced (NADPH), the reduced form of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH) and glutathione (GSH), controlling reactive oxygen species generation. Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), induced by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is considered a public health problem which has caused approximately 4.5 million deaths since December 2019. In relation to the role of G6PD in COVID-19 development, it is known from the existing literature that G6PD-deficient patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 are more susceptible to thrombosis and hemolysis, suggesting that G6PD deficiency facilitates infection by SARS-CoV-2. In relation to G6PD and neuropathology, it has been observed that deficiency of this enzyme is also present with an increase in oxidative markers. In relation to the role of G6PD and the neurological manifestations of COVID-19, it has been reported that the enzymatic deficiency in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 exacerbates the disease, and, in some clinical reports, an increase in hemolysis and thrombosis was observed when patients were treated with hydroxychloroquine (OH-CQ), a drug with oxidative properties. In the present work, we summarize the evidence of the role of G6PD in COVID-19 and its possible role in the generation of oxidative stress and glucose metabolism deficits and inflammation present in this respiratory disease and its progression including neurological manifestations.
