Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria is rare cause for thrombosis of the intra‐abdominal veins in the ethnic Indian population – results from<scp>FLAER</scp>‐based flowcytometry screening

Abstract

PNH was uncommon in patients with intra-abdominal thrombosis in the ethnic Indian population. Despite low positivity, screening by flowcytometry for PNH is of value in this group of patients because it provides an opportunity to rapidly establish the diagnosis of this treatable disorder, which might otherwise be missed if the initial presentation is only thrombotic.
