[Postoperative haemolytic jaundice due to deficiency of G-6-PD (author's transl)].
A case of postoperative haemolytic and cholastatic jaundice after cholecystectomy with no G-6-PD activity is reported. Enflurane is supposed to be the cause in this postoperative jaundice. Considering the fact that Glucose-6-Phosphate-Dehydrogenase deficiency is quite common depending on the patients' origin, this cause must be taken into account and the G-6-PD activity of the erythrocyts should be determined.
