CASE OF PAROXYSMAL NOCTURNAL HEMOGLOBINURIA. PROBLEMS OF LABORATORY DIAGNOSTICS

Abstract

The presented case demonstrates the importance of a comprehensive analysis of all the examination data in a patient with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). A comparison was made of anamnesis data, the clinical picture of the disease, the results of biochemical blood analysis and hematological analyzer data with morphological assessment of cells in a stained blood smear. The interest of this case for hematologists and laboratory specialists is due to the rarity of this disease, difficulties in diagnostics, the presence of 2 types of hemolysis, features of morphological changes in peripheral blood erythrocytes, as well as analysis of the dynamics of manifestations, including against the background of targeted therapy of PNH.
