Acute intermittent porphyria: A case report [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2021
Introduction. Acute intermittent porphyria is a rare inherited metabolic disorder caused by a decreased level of porphobilinogen deaminase. Subsequent accumulation of by-products in neural elements causes a classic triad of abdominal pain, neurological ...

Porphyrias associated with malignant tumors: Results of treatment with ionizing irradiation [PDF]

, 2001
Background: Porphyrin metabolism disorders, known as porphyria, represent inherited or acquired diseases. The development of porphyria due to light sensibility occurs especially with exposure to wavelengths in the range of 300-700 nm.

Evaluation of a commercially available rapid urinary porphobilinogen test [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Demonstration of substantially increased urinary excretion of porphobilinogen is the cornerstone of diagnosing acute porphyria crisis. Because porphobilinogen testing is not implemented on clinical chemistry analysers, respective analyses are

Acute Intermittent Porphyria: Flaccid Quadriplegia and Encephalopathy due to Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) [PDF]

Liaquat National Journal of Primary Care
A deficiency of the enzyme HMB Hydroxymethylbilane synthase function, also known as porphobilinogen deaminase, leads to the emergence of acute intermittent porphyria (AIP). AIP is an uncommon form of hepatic porphyria inherited in an autosomal dominant

Many pitfalls in diagnosis of acute intermittent porphyria: a case report

BMC Research Notes, 2018
Background Acute intermittent porphyria is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme, hydroxymethylbilane synthase. Recognition of acute neurovisceral attacks can be difficult due to the nonspecific nature of symptoms.
