This Medudy course is a video tutorial for physicians on the topic of “PNH in Everyday Clinical Practice.”
In this video, Dr. Jörg Chromik, senior physician and director of the Hematology and Oncology Outpatient Clinic at Frankfurt University Hospital, discusses paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and its significance in everyday clinical practice.
This first video in a series on PNH, an acquired disorder of the hematopoietic stem cells, focuses on the most important warning signs and symptoms. After a brief discussion of the epidemiology, the mostly nonspecific and variable symptoms are described, and the video explains why it is so important to be able to recognize warning signs and interpret clinical presentations even in other medical specialties. Finally, the video briefly explains the recommended course of action when PNH is suspected.
