Table 3
1. Platelet activation through: 
 a. Direct complement activity 
 b. Reactive oxygen species 
 c. Endothelial dysfunction 
 d. Thrombin activation 
2. Deficiency of u-PAR (although may only be significant in the presence of red cell microparticles) 
3. Deficiency of heparan sulfate 
4. Deficiency of TFPI 
5. Deficiency of PR3 
6. Endothelial cell activation 
7. C5a mediated mechanisms 
 a. Increase in inflammatory cytokines 
 b. Downregulation of ADAMTS-13 
8. Generation of tissue factor and PAI1 from PNH monocytes and neutrophils 
9. Decreased levels of protein S 
10. Protein C resistance because of increased factor VIII activity 
11. Thrombin activation of the complement system perpetuating mechanisms above
