What does this test PNH Confirmation Test Flaer Method identify?

This test, the PNH Confirmation Test Flaer Method, identifies the presence of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) using the Fluorescent Aerolysin (Flaer) method. PNH is a rare acquired disorder characterized by the destruction of red blood cells, leading to symptoms such as hemolytic anemia, blood clots, and bone marrow failure. The Flaer method specifically detects the absence of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins on the surface of blood cells, which is a hallmark of PNH. This test helps confirm a diagnosis of PNH and guide appropriate treatment decisions.

Why is this test PNH Confirmation Test Flaer Method taken?

The PNH Confirmation Test Flaer Method is taken to confirm a diagnosis of Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH). PNH is a rare and serious blood disorder characterized by the destruction of red blood cells, leading to symptoms such as dark urine, fatigue, and abdominal pain. The Flaer Method is a specific laboratory test that detects the absence of certain proteins on the surface of blood cells, which is a hallmark of PNH.

By confirming the presence of PNH through this test, healthcare providers can determine the appropriate treatment plan for the patient, which may include medications to help manage symptoms and prevent complications. Additionally, a confirmed diagnosis of PNH can also help guide ongoing monitoring and management of the condition to ensure the best possible outcomes for the patient.
