Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired hemolytic anemia with a PIG-A gene mutation in the hematopoietic stem cells that expand clonally in the body. The PNH red blood cells lack GPI-anchored proteins, such as CD55 and CD59, resulting in susceptibility to complement-mediated lysis. The intravascular hemolysis is caused by infection and other factors. Bone marrow failure and thrombosis are observed as characteristic complications. Eculizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against complement C5, is dramatically effective in inhibiting hemolysis in PNH patients, accompanied by the rapid decrease in serum LDH. However, because eculizumab is not a fundamental treatment, long-term administration is required.
