Recently, there has been increased mention of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) in the news and on social media.  As part of our mission, the Aplastic Anemia and MDS International Foundation (AAMDSIF) works with leading PNH specialists to provide patients, their support networks, and the public with trusted and up-to-date educational resources about PNH.
 
According to Dr. Carlos DeCastro, PNH expert and member of the AAMDSIF Medical Advisory Board, "PNH is a lifelong rare complex blood disorder that requires management by a PNH specialist.  It is important for patients and their support networks to learn all they can about PNH and their treatment options. Understanding PNH empowers patients to make the best decisions for their health care."
