PNH is a rare, chronic, life-threatening disease affecting the complement cascade, leading to uncontrolled terminal complement activation.3,5-9
Uncontrolled terminal complement activation leads to life-threatening consequences such as IVH, thromboembolic events, renal impairment and pulmonary hypertension.10-12 If PNH is left untreated, it can lead to early mortality.5,13
