PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF PNHThe dual hypothesis (Rotoli and Luzzatto, Baillieres Clin Haematol 1989)
Mutazioni fisiologiche Danno autoimmune
Prevalenza del clone Espansione del clone
1. Chronic hemolytic anemia with paroxistic crises
Intravascular hemolysis, complement mediated
2. Propensity to thromboembolisms
Often at unusual site, especially veins (cerebralveins, hepatic veins, splenic vein)
THE CLINICAL TRIAD OF PNH
3. Variable cytopenia
Deficiency of CD55/CD59
As a consequence of hemolysis. Deficiency of CD87on neutrophils and of CD55/CD59 on PLT.
Condition allowing the growth ofPNH clone
What patients to test for PNH?
Usually 3 types of patients: Cytopenias
• Genuine aplastic anaemia (established on BM trephine biopsy)• Pancytopenia/neutropenia/isolated cytopenia
Thrombosis• Budd-Chiari, hepatic/mesenteric vein thrombosis• Other more likely causes of thrombosis must be investigated
Haemolysis/anaemia• Intravascular haemolysis and haemoglobinuria (paroxysmal &
nocturnal!)

Assessment of PNH clone size
Red cell clone sizea) Type III and/or Type II red cellsb) Proportion of PNH red cells is related to
recent transfusion and hemolysis1. PNH granulocytes
a) More accurate reflection of PNH clone size2. PNH monocytes
a) Validates the size of clone
Normal cases –report normal expression ofGPI-linked antigens – no PNH clonesdetected.
New cases – report GPI deficiency, celllineages tested & PNH clone sizes.
Monitoring – report PNH clone sizes and anychanges
Proposal of reporting format in ClonePNHMagazine (www.clonePnh.com)
Cut-off point?
Reporting results
Classification of PNHDefinition Haemolysis BMF
Classic PNH + -PNH in the setting ofother BM disorders
+ +Subclinical PNH - +
Detection of PNH clone is cytometric,but final diagnosis is not only cytometric
