Serrapeptosis can be detected by auxiliary physical examination, genetic testing, and glucose hexosephosphate dehydrogenase activity testing experiments.
1. Auxiliary physical examination: If the patient suffers from fava bean disease, the patient will show obvious jaundice, anemia and hepatosplenomegaly, which can be initially judged by physical examination, and at the same time, it is necessary to carefully ask the patient’s medical history, family genetic history, etc., to help better judgement.
2. Genetic testing: Since serotonin is a hereditary disease, patients can go to regular hospitals, according to the doctor’s instructions through the genetic testing method to detect mutations in the genes and mutation sites, so as to detect whether the patient is suffering from serotonin.
3. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity test: patients can go to the regular hospital, according to the doctor’s instructions by taking venous blood to detect the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. If the activity of this enzyme is significantly lower than normal or the body lacks this enzyme, basically is suffering from fava bean disease.
Patients suffering from fava bean disease should avoid eating legumes, if accidentally eaten legumes, should promptly seek medical attention, go to the regular hospital examination, do targeted treatment.
