Authors
Sex: F Age: 65 years. Recent abdominal colic. Petechial-like manifestations with painful discolored skin lesions (suggestive of dermal veins thromboses) on the chest and abdomen. Blood levels of glucose, electrolytes, amylase, lipase, total protein, renal-function tests, the prothrombin time, the international normalized ratio, the partial-thromboplastin time and albumin were normal. Laboratory testing revealed hemolytic anemia: red cells 2.94—106/UL; hemoglobin 8.9 g/dL; lactate dehydrogenase 950 IU/L. Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis performed after the administration of intravenous contrast material, revealed a central filling defect in the hepatic veins and their branches that was compatible with acute thrombosis of the hepatic veins and their branches. It was suspected paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria for which flow cytometric analysis was requested.

PlumX Metrics
PlumX Metrics provide insights into the ways people interact with individual pieces of research output (articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, and many more) in the online environment. Examples include, when research is mentioned in the news or is tweeted about. Collectively known as PlumX Metrics, these metrics are divided into five categories to help make sense of the huge amounts of data involved and to enable analysis by comparing like with like.
