At the British Society for Haematology (BSH) 2018 Annual Scientific Meeting, held in Liverpool, UK, Anita Hill, MBChB (Hons), MRCP, FRCPath, PhD, from Leeds Teaching Hospital NHS Trust, Leeds, UK, discusses possible new diagnostic indicators to detect thrombosis in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH).
