PNH stands for paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria – an acquired, rare, chronic, potentially life-threatening blood disease commonly characterised by persistently low haemoglobin, thrombosis and debilitating symptoms. It occurs when the cells in the bone marrow responsible for making red blood cells (wh...
Introduction: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare disease which is characterized with complement mediated intravascular hemolysis, bone marrow failure and thrombosis. The prevelance of PNH is estimated 1 to 16 cases per million in USA. X-linked somatic mutation of phosphatidylinositol gly...

causes of deathPNH RegistryBackground: Paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare disease. Although much progress has been made in the understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease, far less is known with respect to the clinical outcomes of patients with PNH. Few retrospective ...
A missing or faulty protein causes this inherited disease. The body needs this protein for blood to clot normally. So, people with this condition often have excessive bleeding and bruising. Doctors treat it with medicines that replace the missing protein or make cells release more of it. ...
CHMP’s latest crop of recommendations includes AstraZeneca’s danicopan for anaemia in rare disease PNH and Biogen’s SOD1 ALS treatment Qualsody.
Venous thrombosis, particularly in abdominal and in intracranial veins, is the leading cause of mortality in patients with PNH, accounting for 40–67% of deaths with known causes2. Several mechanisms, including prothrombotic microparticles, proinflammatory cytokines and complement factors, activated ...
PNH is a rare and life-threatening blood condition, which affects approximately 20,000 people worldwide. In PNH, red blood cells are destroyed by the complement system – part of the innate immune system. This causes symptoms such a...
