View in English: PNH
HNP
Hemoglobinuria paroxística nocturna. Trastorno poco común en el que ciertas proteínas del sistema inmunitario destruyen los glóbulos rojos. Los síntomas incluyen coágulos de sangre y orina de color rojo o amarronado en la mañana. La anemia aplástica (producción reducida de glóbulos) puede conducir a la HNP y las personas con HNP tienen mayor riesgo de contraer leucemia mielógena aguda. También se llama hemoglobinuria nocturna paroxística.
