Know Your LDH
One of the most important lab values is called LDH (lactate dehydrogenase, an enzyme
found in red blood cells). By measuring your LDH, your physician can determine the
degree of haemolysis in your body.1 Knowing your beginning LDH and monitoring
it over time will help you and your doctor keep better track of the progression
of your PNH. It can also be used to help assess the risk for developing serious
complications associated with PNH.
Talk to your doctor to learn more.
PNH Quick Facts
People with PNH may have other medical conditions that affect the function of their
bone marrow such as aplastic anaemia (AA) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). These
diseases may reduce the production of blood cells and further complicate PNH.1,2
If you have PNH in combination with AA or MDS, talk to your doctor - it's important
to effectively treat all the conditions you may have.
