- Аннотация: Diagnosis of pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD) remains challenging in clinical practice. The pyruvate kinase (PK) to hexokinase (HK) activity ratio (PK/HK) was proposed to reduce the confounding effect of reticulocytosis on PK activity measurement. However, decreased PK activity and PK/HK ratios have also been observed in other anemias, raising doubts about their diagnostic value. We assessed the diagnostic accuracy of PK/HK ratio versus PK activity in differentiating PKD from other hereditary anemias. This study included 41 patients with molecularly confirmed PKD and 62 patients with other anemias. We also evaluated the influence of reticulocytosis and transfusions on erythrocyte PK activity. The PK/HK ratio showed 73% specificity, while PK activity alone achieved 95%. In PKD patients, reticulocytosis did not affect PK activity because reticulocyte PK activity was already markedly reduced (23-fold) compared with controls. In other anemias, decreases in PK activity were present in both reticulocytes and erythrocytes, but to a lesser extent. Transfusions contribute more to the false-normal result of PK activity than reticulocytosis. Measuring reticulocyte-specific PK activity during regular transfusions provided reliable results, as only patient-derived reticulocytes are present in the blood. PK activity demonstrates higher specificity than PK/HK ratio in diagnosing PKD. Reticulocytosis is not a confounder, while transfusions remain the main limitation. Reticulocyte-specific PK activity measurement may improve diagnostic accuracy in transfused patients.
