This video is all about a rare clonal hematopoetic disorder called paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria abbreviated as PNH. PNH is because of the mutation in PIG A gene which codes for GPI (glycophosphotidylinositol). GPI is needed for anchoring DAF and CD59 on red cell membrane. In the absence of DAF and CD59 the red cells will be hemolysed by the compliment system. Complimented mediated hemolysis in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, PNH, leads to complement mediated intravascular hemolysis giving rise to hemoglobinuria, jaundice and anemia. PNH is diagnosed using sucrose hemolysis test or sugar water test, Hams test and flow cytometry.
Let me introduce myself to you!!

- I'm a physician doctor with an MD degree. My passion for teaching has always been appreciated by students with whom I have shared my knowledge. I'm a passionate teacher of medical biochemistry and would like to share my knowledge about this beautiful subject with all those who is interested to learn to understand the cellular metabolic events and to understand the metabolic disease process. I would like to learn new things by keeping myself updated with current research in the field. Let us share the knowledge each other!!
