Overview

Diagnosis of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria has a minimal essential diagnostic criteria. The diagnostic test of choice is flow cytometry. The flow cytometry is used in order to reveal the GPI deficient RBCs.

Diagnostic Study of Choice

Minimal essential diagnostic criteria

  • Diagnosis of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria is based on the minimal essential diagnostic criteria. The main diagnostic test for this criteria is flow cytometry.[1]
  • The flow cytometry approach is used to reveal the deficiency of GPI anchor on the RBCs.
  • Other measures used in the diagnostic criteria include the folllowing:
  • Supporting tests are included also in order to detect the PNH category. Below tables conclude both supporting tests and categories of PNH.[2]
Category of PNH Characteristics
1- Classic PNH
2- PNH in the setting of another specified bone marrow disorder
  • Intravascular hemolysis evident
  • History of defined bone marrow abnormality
  • This category used to determine if the PNH is secondary to aplastic anemia or myelodysplastic syndrome
  • A chromosomal abnormality may be associated with myelodysplastic syndrome
3- Subclinical PNH
  • No evidence of hemolysis
  • Patients with subclinical PNH are detected by the flow cytometric analysis
  • Mostly associated with bone marrow failure
Supporting approaches
1- Obtaining the history of symptoms of hemoglobinuria, thromboembolic disease, dysphagia, and abdominal pain.

2- Identifying the proportion of the PNH I, PNH II, and PNH III erythrocytes by the flow cytometric analysis

3- Identifying the proportion of the GPI deficient blood cells

4- Serum Iron levels

5- Kidney function tests

6- Serum level of erythropoietin

7- Urine hemosiderin

8- HLA class identification
