ABSTRACT Introduction Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (EPP) caused skin light sensitivity and liver cirrhosis in a 35‐year‐old patient who subsequently developed liver‐failure. Methods In absence of a human leukocyte antigens (HLA)‐matched‐unrelated donor, the father consented in donating for split liver transplantation (SLT) and allogeneic hematopoietic

Erythropoietic protoporphyria and early onset of cholestasis
Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is an inherited defect of mitochondrial ferrochelatase. This defect results in accumulation of protoporphyrin in erythrocytes, plasma, liver, and skin, which causes severe photosensitivity.
