Biochemical and hematological analysis in acute intermittent porphyria (AIP): a case report

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2013
Acute intermittent porphyria is the most common acute porphyria caused by a decrease in hepatic porphobilinogen deaminase activity, resulting in an accumulation of delta-aminolevulinic acid and porphobilinogen.

Therapeutic strategies for acute intermittent porphyria.

open access: yesIntractable & Rare Diseases Research, 2020
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in porphobilinogen deaminase (PBGD), the third enzyme of the heme synthesis pathway.

19-year-old female with abdominal pain [PDF]

open access: yesRomanian Journal of Neurology, 2013
Porphyria is a group of at least 8 diseases that differ greatly between them. Common feature of these diseases is the accumulation in the body of porphyrins or porphyrin precursors, due to defects of specific enzymes in the biosynthesis of heme.

Recent advances in the epidemiology and genetics of acute intermittent porphyria.

open access: yesIntractable & Rare Diseases Research, 2020
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is a dominant inherited disorder with a low penetrance that is caused by mutations in the gene coding for hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS).

The diagnosis and management of porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT)

open access: yesSouth African Family Practice, 2009
The porphyrias are a group of disorders in which excessive quantities of porphyrins or their precursors are produced. They are due to abnormalities in the control of the porphyrin-haem metabolic pathway.

An overview of the cutaneous porphyrias [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This is an overview of the cutaneous porphyrias. It is a narrative review based on the published literature and my personal experience; it is not based on a formal systematic search of the literature.

Acute intermittent porphyria: focus on possible mechanisms of acute and chronic manifestations.

open access: yesIntractable & Rare Diseases Research, 2020
Porphyrias are a group of inherited metabolic diseases that include eight types, each of which is caused by a mutation that affects an enzyme of the heme biosynthetic pathway.

Acute porphyrias – A neurological perspective

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, 2021
Acute hepatic porphyrias (AHP) can cause severe neurological symptoms involving the central, autonomic, and peripheral nervous system. Due to their relative rarity and their chameleon‐like presentation, delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis are common. AHPs
