The Ham's test is a diagnostic procedure designed to identify Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH), a rare and severe blood disorder. PNH is distinguished by the breakdown of red blood cells, leading to haemoglobin released into the bloodstream and urine. This occurs because the red blood cells in PNH patients are susceptible to the complement system, a part of the immune system, causing their destruction.

During Ham's test, a blood sample is collected from the patient and mixed with acidified serum. If the patient has PNH, their red blood cells will break down, resulting in an optimistic Ham's test. This test is crucial for the diagnosis of PNH, providing essential information to guide the treating doctor in creating a suitable treatment plan.
