Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a chronic intravascular hemolysis caused by acquired red blood cell membrane defects. It often worsens during sleep and may be accompanied by paroxysmal hemoglobinuria and pancytopenia. Although this disease is rare, the incidence has been increasing in recent years. It is more common in the north of my country than in the south. More than half of the cases occur in young and middle-aged people aged 20-40, and some are under 10 years old and over 70 years old. There are more men than women. PNH has always been classified as a hemolytic disease, but in addition to anemia, it is often accompanied by a decrease in neutrophils and (or) platelets, and the molecular lesions of PNH involve various blood cells. Therefore, some authors in recent years regard PNH as a hematopoietic stem cell disease. The main cause of death in China is infection and in foreign countries is vascular embolism.
