    Abstract Pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency is a congenital hemolytic anemia with wide-ranging clinical symptoms and complications associated with significant morbidity and reduced health-related quality of life in both children and adults. The management of patients with PK deficiency has been historically challenging due to difficulties in the diagnostic evaluation, heterogeneity of clinical manifestations, and treatment options limited to supportive care with transfusions and splenectomy. An oral allosteric PK activator, mitapivat, is now a clinically available disease-modifying treatment for adults with PK deficiency. Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials of mitapivat have demonstrated sustained improvements in hemolytic anemia, hematopoiesis, and quality of life in many adults with PK deficiency and a generally reassuring safety profile with continued dosing. Additional long-term benefits include rapid and ongoing reduction in iron overload and potential stabilization of bone health. Clinical trials of treatment with mitapivat in children with PK deficiency are ongoing. In addition to disease-modifying treatment with PK activators, gene therapy is a potentially curative treatment currently under evaluation in clinical trials. With the availability of disease-targeted therapies, accurately diagnosing PK deficiency in patients with chronic hemolytic anemia is critical. PK activation and gene therapy have the potential to change the natural history of PK deficiency by improving clinical manifestations and patient quality of life and decreasing the risk of long-term complications.

    Abstract Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is the most common acquired thrombocytopenia in children and is caused by immune-mediated decreased platelet production and increased platelet destruction. In the absence of a diagnostic test, ITP must be differentiated from other thrombocytopenic disorders, including inherited platelet disorders. In addition, a diagnosis of secondary ITP due to a primary immune deficiency with immune dysregulation may not be apparent at diagnosis but can alter management and should be considered in an expanding number of clinical scenarios. The diagnostic evaluation of children with thrombocytopenia will vary based on the clinical history and laboratory features. Access to genotyping has broadened the ability to specify the etiology of thrombocytopenia, whereas increasing access to immunophenotyping, functional immunologic and platelet assays, and biochemical markers has allowed for more in-depth evaluation of patients. With this greater availability of testing, diagnostic algorithms in patients with thrombocytopenia have become complex. In this article, we highlight the diagnostic evaluation of thrombocytopenia in children with a focus on ITP, including consideration of underlying genetic and immune disorders, and use hypothetical patient cases to describe disease manifestations and strategies for treatment of pediatric ITP.

    Abstract Mutations in the PKLR gene lead to pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency, causing chronic hemolytic anemia secondary to reduced red cell energy, which is crucial for maintenance of the red cell membrane and function. Heterogeneous clinical manifestations can result in significant morbidity and reduced health-related quality of life. Treatment options have historically been limited to supportive care, including red cell transfusions and splenectomy. Current disease-modifying treatment considerations include an oral allosteric PK activator, mitapivat, which was recently approved for adults with PK deficiency, and gene therapy, which is currently undergoing clinical trials. Studies evaluating the role of PK activators in other congenital hemolytic anemias are ongoing. The long-term effect of treatment with disease-modifying therapy in PK deficiency will require continued evaluation.

    Abstract Pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency is a rare, congenital red blood cell disorder caused by a single gene defect. The spectrum of genotypes, variants, and phenotypes are broad, commonly requiring a multimodal approach including enzyme and genetic testing for accurate and reliable diagnosis. Similarly, management of primary and secondary sequelae of PK deficiency varies, mainly including supportive care with transfusions and surgical interventions to improve symptoms and quality of life. Given the risk of acute and long-term complications of PK deficiency and its treatment, regular monitoring and management of iron burden and organ dysfunction is critical. Therefore, all children and adolescents with PK deficiency should receive regular hematology care with visits at least every 6 months regardless of transfusion status. We continue to learn more about the spectrum of symptoms and complications of PK deficiency and best practice for monitoring and management through registry efforts (NCT03481738). The treatment of PK deficiency has made strides over the last few years with newer disease-modifying therapies being developed and studied, with the potential to change the course of disease in childhood and beyond.

    Abstract Pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD) is an autosomal-recessive enzyme defect of the glycolytic pathway that causes congenital nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia. The diagnosis and management of patients with PKD can be challenging due to difficulties in the diagnostic evaluation and the heterogeneity of clinical manifestations, ranging from fetal hydrops and symptomatic anemia requiring lifelong transfusions to fully compensated hemolysis. Current treatment approaches are supportive and include transfusions, splenectomy, and chelation. Complications, including iron overload, bilirubin gallstones, extramedullary hematopoiesis, pulmonary hypertension, and thrombosis, are related to the chronic hemolytic anemia and its current management and can occur at any age. Disease-modifying therapies in clinical development may decrease symptoms and findings associated with chronic hemolysis and avoid the complications associated with current treatment approaches. As these disease-directed therapies are approved for clinical use, clinicians will need to define the types of symptoms and findings that determine the optimal patients and timing for initiating these therapies. In this article, we highlight disease manifestations, monitoring approaches, strategies for managing complications, and novel therapies in development.

    Abstract The 2019 ASH guidelines for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) included recommendations on management of adults (recommendations 1-9) and children (recommendations 10-21) with primary ITP (1). We describe here results of a review of the 2019 guidelines by a working group of experts requested by ASH to inform decision-making about the need for and timing of a guideline revision. An updated Medline and Embase search applied the same search terms as in the 2019 ASH guidelines, limited to systematic reviews and clinical trials, from May 2017 to July 2022. There were 193 studies identified, 102 underwent abstract review and 54 full review. Each study was assessed based on relevance to the previous recommendation with regards to the population, prioritized outcomes, new outcomes, and study design. Reviewers assessed if the data would change the strength or the directionality of the existing recommendation or merit development of a new recommendation. Based on this review, the ASH Committee on Quality endorsed a focused update on second-line management for adults with ITP. In addition, there will be continued annual monitoring and reviewing of the 2019 ASH guidelines on ITP in full to evaluate when there is sufficient new evidence to warrant additional revisions.
