Ham test
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Ham test is a test used in the diagnosis of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). The test involves placing red blood cells in mild acid; a positive result (increased RBC fragility) indicates PNH or Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia.[1][2] This is now an obsolete test for diagnosing PNH due to its low sensitivity and specificity.[3]
