KROK 1 2019 – Question 46 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
A 3-year-old child with elevated body temperature has taken aspirin and developed increased hemolysis of erythrocytes. In this case hemolytic anemia can be caused by congenital deficiency of the following enzyme:
- A. Glycerol-phosphate dehydrogenase
- B. Gamma-glutamyl transferase
- C. Glycogen phosphorylase
- D. Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase
- E. Glucose 6-phosphatase
Hint
Think about which erythrocyte pathway generates the reducing power that protects cells from oxidant drugs, and which of its enzymes could be missing.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
