Overview
Case report finds a hypercoagulable profile in a PNH patient, suggesting whole blood thrombin generation may refine thrombotic risk assessment.
Key Points
Whole blood thrombin generation test reveals a hypercoagulable state in a patient with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.
The patient experienced a hemolytic crisis but showed no thrombotic events during hospitalization.
Flow cytometry confirmed a large PNH clone across blood cell types, indicating a severe form of the disease.
Using WB-TG provides insights into thrombotic risk, potentially guiding better antithrombotic treatment strategies.
