Allogeneic transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells in congenital pyruvate kinase deficiency. Case report

https://doi.org/10.21682/2311-1267-2026-13-1-104-111

Abstract

Hemolytic anemia due to pyruvate kinase deficiency is a rare congenital disease caused by a defect in the glycolytic pathway. This anemia is the most common among all enzymopathies. There are various treatment methods for this disease. This article presents a clinical case of a successful allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in a patient with pyruvate kinase deficiency.
