The impacts of PNH and symptoms that clinicians should be aware of

Richard Kelly, MBChB, PhD, St James's University Hospital, Leeds, UK, outlines the key impacts of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) on patients' quality of life, emphasizing that many individuals experience symptoms long before diagnosis, including abdominal pain, erectile dysfunction, and dysphagia. He highlights the frustration of delayed diagnosis and how patients often undergo several investigations before a clinician may suspect PNH and refer them to a specialist. Dr Kelly also explains that while most patients improve with treatment, some experience persistent fatigue due to residual anemia and may benefit from switching to a different treatment regimen. This interview took place at the 2nd International PNH Interest Group (IPIG) Conference in Paris, France.
