Review: Laboratory Diagnosis of Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an uncommon acquired stem cell disorder associated with periodic hemolytic events. This benign clonal disease is caused by abnormalities of the Xlinked phosphatidylinositol glycan class A (PIGA) gene and is associated with cytopenias and thrombosis. Although the trilineage of bone marrow elements is affected, involvement of the red blood cell (RBC) l...

It is a Coomb's negative rare hemolytic disorder characterized by non-malignant clonal expansion of haemopoietic stem cells due to acquired genetic mutations.

متن کاملParoxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare bone marrow failure disorder that manifests with hemolytic anemia, thrombosis, and peripheral blood cytopenias. The absence of two glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins, CD55 and CD59, leads to uncontrolled complement activation that accounts for hemolysis and other PNH manifestations. GPI anchor protein deficiency is almost alw...
متن کاملParoxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a complex hematological disorder resulting in a quite unique clinical syndrome. In fact, the typical clinical presentation encompasses three distinct hematological manifestations, i.e., hemolytic anemia, bone marrow failure and thrombophilia (Dunn et al 2000; Parker & Ware 2003; Notaro & Luzzatto 2003). Thus, the term PNH covers only one feature of t...
