Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria
PNH—Summary

December 2010
In summary, PNH is a rare acquired disorder of hematopoietic cells. It is characterized by hemolysis and many other effects, of which thrombosis is the most serious consequence. Small clones of PNH have been detected in other hematopoietic disorders, such as myelodysplastic syndrome and aplastic anemia. We are able to provide sensitive testing for both early detection and therapeutic monitoring of patients with PNH clones.
