Study of some erythrocytic enzymes in extracorpuscular hemolytic anemias.

Investigations on the activity of three erythrocytic enzymes i.e., glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH), catalase and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), in 20 patients with extracorpuscular hemolytic anemias of various origins showed a general tendency to decrease of G-6-PDH and catalase, with a concomitant increase in LDH. These results are interpreted as due to metabolic disturbances induced by hemolysis in the erythroblastic series and/or to possible perturbations specific for each type of anemia.
