Test Overview

The Ham Test is the definitive screening assay for Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH), a rare, life-threatening hematopoietic stem cell disorder. It detects complement‑mediated lysis of red blood cells that lack GPI‑anchored proteins — a signature of PNH — and is confirmed with high‑sensitivity flow cytometry (FLAER + CD59/CD24) for a conclusive diagnosis.

يُعد اختبار هام الفحص الأساسي للبيلة الهيموغلوبينية الليلية الانتيابية، ويكشف عن انحلال الدم بوساطة المتممة، مع تأكيد عبر قياس التدفق الخلوي عالي الحساسية.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocol

“As a hematologist, I recognize the anxiety a PNH workup can bring. This combined Ham/flow panel gives us the precision needed to differentiate PNH from other hemolytic anemias. Please remember that this screening is only one part of your clinical picture; I strongly advise reviewing all results with your doctor for a complete interpretation.”

— Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, Consultant Hematologist (DHA License: 61713011)

⛔ Critical Medication Warning

Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.

This test does not replace ongoing therapy; abrupt changes to immunosuppressive or anticoagulant regimens can be dangerous.

⚠️ Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags

Exclusion: Active hemolytic crisis with hemodynamic instability, known anaphylaxis to test reagents, or current thrombotic storm.
Emergency Red Flags: If you develop severe chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, dark (cola‑colored) urine with fever, or acute neurological symptoms (slurred speech, one‑sided weakness), visit the nearest emergency department immediately.
Home Collection Safety: Our phlebotomists are trained to recognize acute distress and will arrange emergency referral if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions (Clinical Guidance)

Q: What does a positive Ham Test mean?

A positive Ham Test reveals complement-sensitive red cells, pointing to a diagnosis of PNH. A positive result indicates that a proportion of your red blood cells are abnormally susceptible to destruction by the complement system, a hallmark of PNH. This finding is then confirmed by flow cytometry that quantifies the exact size of the PNH clone and guides targeted therapy with complement inhibitors.

ماذا يعني اختبار هام الإيجابي؟ تشير النتيجة الإيجابية إلى وجود كريات حمراء حساسة للانحلال بوساطة المتممة، مما يستوجب تأكيدًا بتدفق خلوي وتقييمًا متخصصًا.

Q: How should I prepare for the PNH screening test?

No special preparation is required; you may eat and drink normally before sample collection today. Simply avoid heavy exercise immediately before the draw. All medications, including anticoagulants, should be taken as prescribed unless your doctor advises otherwise. Our phlebotomist will gently collect 3 mL of blood from an arm vein using a lavender-top EDTA tube, which is immediately refrigerated and transported to the lab.
