The Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency Global Longitudinal (Peak) Registry: rationale and study design [PDF]
Introduction Pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency is a rare, under-recognised, hereditary condition that leads to chronic haemolytic anaemia and potentially serious secondary complications, such as iron overload, cholecystitis, pulmonary hypertension and ...

Pyruvate kinase deficiency links metabolic perturbations to neurodegeneration and axonal protection [PDF]
Objective: Metabolic disruption is a central feature to many neurodegenerative diseases. Despite this, many gaps exist in our understanding of how these perturbations link to the mechanisms of neural disease.

Mitapivat for Acquired Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency [PDF]
ABSTRACTPyruvate kinase (PK) activation is emerging as a promising treatment modality for numerous congenital hemolytic anemias of diverse pathophysiology, and one agent, mitapivat, is already licensed to treat patients with congenital PK deficiency.

How We Treat Hemolytic Anemia Due to Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency [PDF]
Background: Pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency is an inherited red blood cell (RBC) enzyme disorder that results in non-immune chronic hemolytic anemia. Characteristic symptoms of PK deficiency include anemia, fatigue, splenomegaly, jaundice, gallstones ...

Case report: Modified transplantation for pediatric patients with pyruvate kinase deficiency [PDF]
Pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease caused by mutations in the PKLR gene. To date, the clinical manifestations of PKD are heterogeneous, ranging from fetal anemia, neonatal jaundice, and severe chronic hemolytic ...

Pyruvate kinase deficiency mimicking congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type I
Background. Pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency is the most common enzyme abnormality in the glycolytic pathway. Here, we describe two siblings with PK deficiency that mimicked congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA) type I. Case.
