Your doctor can diagnose G6PD deficiency by performing a simple blood test to check G6PD enzyme levels. Other diagnostic tests that may be done include a complete blood count, serum hemoglobin test, and a reticulocyte count. All these tests measure the amount of red blood cells in the body. They can also help your doctor to diagnose hemolytic anemia.
