Abstract
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired chronic hemolytic anemia characterized by persistent intravascular hemolysiswith occasional or frequent recurrent exacerbations. In addition to hemolysis, there may be, pancytopenia and a distinct tendency to venous thrombosis. This triad makes PNH a truly unique clinical condition; however, not all of these three features manifest on presentation. Not many reports of renal involvement in PNH are available in the literature. We report a case of acute kidney injury (AKI) due to PNH. This case shows AKI as one of the complications of PNH.
