Write answer in between .Q:A mother brings her newborn baby to the pediatrician after noting that his skin looks yellow. The patients lactate dehydrogenase is elevated and haptoglobin is decreased. A smear of the childs blood is shown below. The patient is ultimately found to have decreased ability to process phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate. Which of the following metabolic changes is most likely to occur in this patient?? A: Left shift of the oxyhemoglobin curve, B: Right shift of the oxyhemoglobin curve, C: Broadening of the oxyhemoglobin curve, D: Narrowing of the oxyhemoglobin curve, E: Increased ATP availability,  <response>: This is a question about neonatal jaundice and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase G6PD deficiency. The key details in the stem are the newborns jaundiced appearance, elevated LDH, decreased haptoglobin, and inability to process phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate. This indicates hemolysis and impaired functioning of the pentose phosphate pathway. In G6PD deficiency, oxidative stress can lead to hemolysis. The pentose phosphate pathway generates NADPH, which is needed to regenerate glutathione and manage oxidative stress. Impaired pentose phosphate pathway function leads to reduced NADPH and glutathione levels, increasing susceptibility to oxidative damage. The question asks which metabolic change is most likely. Choice A and B regarding the oxyhemoglobin curve are incorrect, as this does not relate to the pentose phosphate pathway or G6PD deficiency. Choice C and D about broadeningnarrowing the oxyhemoglobin curve are also unrelated. Choice E about increased ATP availability is incorrect, as pentose phosphate pathway impairment would reduce NADPH but not necessarily ATP. B: Right shift of the oxyhemoglobin curve
