Abstract

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare hematopoietic stem cell disorder characterized by hemolytic anemia, hemoglobinuria, bone marrow failure, and hypercoagulability. Thrombosis is the leading cause of mortality and occurs in one-half of PNH patients, with the hepatic veins being the most common site. Patients with hepatic vein thrombosis (Budd-Chiari syndrome) can present with abdominal pain, hepatomegaly, jaundice, and ascites. Prognosis is poor for these patients; death may occur from liver failure, vessel rupture, intestinal ischemia, infarction, necrosis, or sepsis. The authors report three consecutive cases of successful treatment with catheter-directed thrombolysis and thrombectomy directly in the hepatic veins in patients with PNH who developed acute hepatic vein thrombosis. This treatment represents a potential bridge toward more curative therapies such as allogeneic bone marrow transplant.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
