Understanding PNH Advance
Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare and acquired blood disorder that causes premature destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis). It occurs due to a mutation in the PIGA gene, which results in the absence of protective GPI (glycosylphosphatidylinositol)-anchored proteins on the surface of blood cells. Without these proteins, blood cells become vulnerable to attack by the immune system.

What does PNH Advance measure?
The PNH Advance test is a specialized blood test used to detect and confirm Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH), a rare, acquired blood disorder. It works by identifying blood cells that lack protective surface proteins, making them more likely to break down (hemolyze). This test helps doctors diagnose PNH, assess its severity, and monitor the response to treatment.
