Abstract
Acute hepatic porphyria is a genetic disorder affecting enzymes involved in HEME biosynthesis. The most common subtype is acute intermittent porphyria, accounting for 80% of cases. Other types include hereditary coproporphyria, variegate porphyria, and delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase deficiency.
Attacks in acute hepatic porphyria are triggered by the induction of hepatic ALA synthase 1, leading to the accumulation of neurotoxic heme intermediates, delta-aminolevulinic acid, and porphobilinogen. Women experience attacks more frequently than men.
Acute porphyria attacks are characterized by severe, diffuse abdominal pain, muscle weakness, autonomic neuropathy (including hypertension, tachycardia, nausea, vomiting, and constipation), and changes in mental status. Early recognition of the disease is crucial as it requires urgent medical attention and treatment. Management includes intravenous opioids, glucose, hemin, and the removal of triggering factors.
Preventive treatment options include hormone suppression therapy, off-label prophylactic hemin, givosiran, and exceptionally liver transplantation.
期刊介绍:
Revista Clínica Española published its first issue in 1940 and is the body of expression of the Spanish Society of Internal Medicine (SEMI).
The journal fully endorses the goals of updating knowledge and facilitating the acquisition of key developments in internal medicine applied to clinical practice. Revista Clínica Española is subject to a thorough double blind review of the received articles written in Spanish or English. Nine issues are published each year, including mostly originals, reviews and consensus documents.
