Pyruvate kinase deficiency of red cells
MONDO:0009950A rare, genetic metabolic disorder due to pyruvate kinase deficiency characterized by a variable degree of chronic nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia resulting in a variable clinical manifestations ranging from fatal anemia at birth to a to a fully compensated hemolysis without apparent anemia.

Could vitamin c tame anemia? early trial tests high doses in rare blood disorders
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis early-stage study tests whether high-dose Vitamin C is safe for people with two rare inherited blood disorders—Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (PKD) and a form of G6PD deficiency. Both conditions cause red blood cells to break down too quickly, leading to anemia. The study will e…

Smartwatch signals may flag anemia, no needle needed
Diagnosis Not yet recruitingAnemia often goes unnoticed because diagnosis requires a blood draw. This study tests whether a wrist-worn smartwatch can identify people likely to have anemia by tracking blood flow, heart rate, oxygen, and movement. About 400 adults, with and without anemia, will wear the watch…

Could a painless light sensor replace the needle for anemia screening?
Diagnosis Not yet recruitingThis study tests whether a non-invasive device that uses light to measure hemoglobin through the skin can accurately detect anemia. Researchers will compare its readings with standard blood tests in 150 adults in Jakarta. If the device proves reliable, it could offer a quick, pai…
