SummaryThe porphyrias are clinically variable and genetically heterogeneous, predominantly hereditary metabolic diseases, which are caused by a dysfunction of specific enzymes in heme biosynthesis. Here, we provide an overview of the etiopathogenesis, clinic, differential diagnosis, laboratory diagnostics and therapy of these complex metabolic ...

An overview of the cutaneous porphyrias [version 1; referees: 2 approved] [PDF]
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 hepatic porphyrias for the neurologist: current concepts and perspectives [PDF]
Background: Acute hepatic porphyrias represent an expanding group of complex inherited metabolic disorders due to inborn errors of metabolism involving heme biosynthesis. Objective: We aimed to review the main clinical and therapeutic aspects associated

Acute intermittent porphyria: A case report [PDF]
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 ...

Portuguese Consensus on Acute Porphyrias: Diagnosis, Treatment, Monitoring and Patient Referral
Acute porphyrias are a group of rare genetic metabolic disorders, caused by a defect in one of the enzymes involved in the heme biosynthesis, which results in an abnormally high accumulation of toxic intermediates.

Iron, Heme Synthesis and Erythropoietic Porphyrias: A Complex Interplay
Erythropoietic porphyrias are caused by enzymatic dysfunctions in the heme biosynthetic pathway, resulting in porphyrins accumulation in red blood cells.

Prophylactic heme arginate therapy in acute intermittent hepatic porphyria: A case report [PDF]
Introduction. Among the acute hepatic porphyrias, a small percentage of patients, predominantly female, present with recurrent cyclic attacks of acute intermittent porphyria that occur more than three times a year and sometimes at intervals of less than ...

Iron in Porphyrias: Friend or Foe?
Iron is a trace element that is important for many vital processes, including oxygen transport, oxidative metabolism, cellular proliferation, and catalytic reactions. Iron supports these functions mainly as part of the heme molecule. Heme synthesis is an

Severe neurologic manifestations in acute intermittent porphyria developed after spine surgery under general anesthesia: a case report [PDF]
Porphyrias are inherited metabolic disorders resulting from a specific enzyme defect in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Porphyrias are induced by various precipitants.
