Complement C5 inhibitor treatment with ravulizumab or eculizumab for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) improves outcomes and survival. Some patients remain anemic due to clinically significant extravascular hemolysis (cs-EVH: hemoglobin [Hgb] ≤9.5 g/dL and absolute reticulocyte count [ARC] ≥120×109/L).

Background: Sudanese children with End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) often show limited improvement in hemoglobin levels despite treatment with recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO). This study aims to assess the response to rHuEPO therapy by analyzing β-globin mRNA expression and reticulocyte parameters. Additionally, it classifies anemia among Sudanese pediatric patients based on iron status, considering age and gender as biological markers for evaluating treatment response.
