Don’t ask doctors. More than likely you will not get satisfactory answers. Many are clueless. A lot of them are in it just for the money and know the bare minimum to get by.
As for your question I looked up g6pd. Deficiency means premature destruction of RBC’s causing anemia. So common sense would suggest elevated g6pd would cause your RBC’s to hang around for too long, or a build up of RBC’s. Neither is good. You need just the right amount.
A Google search showed “it invariably reflects the presence of a young red blood cell population with reticulocytosis.” In other words accumulation of young/immature RBC’s. Does that increase your chances of Leukemia ? Your best bet is to Google and read research papers on the topic or post on specialized forums where sometimes true experts or researchers will answer your question anonymously.
Probably not. There is no direct link. Leukemia involves WBC's. Your problem is with RBC's. Two different cell types.
That is a very interesting synopsis...because on the flip side of that I have a disorder that causes red blood cell issues called thalassemia minor.
The thought is thalassemia developed because of malaria and also that g6pd provides protection against malaria.
So yes, I don’t expect any Dr to have a clue as how two different disorders may be trying to provide balance
And now I have been prescribed a drug that is also used for malaria
Malaria has a weird way of creeping into my life in various ways. 23andme claims I have .1 percent of West African blood. It must be from them that I got this weird malaria connected stuff
