Fast Facts for Patients and Supporters: Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency

A Rare Genetic Disease That Affects Red Blood Cells

About this book

Pyruvate kinase deficiency is a rare genetic disease that causes red blood cells to break apart. Despite an ever-growing understanding of the disease, it remains unfamiliar to many healthcare professionals, and the information available to patients is limited. This superbly illustrated workbook is designed to help patients equip themselves with the best information about their condition to improve the conversations they have about it with their doctors and nurses.
