Introduction to Porphyria | Porphyria Cutanea Tarda vs. Acute Intermittent Porphyria

Lesson on Porphyria conditions: Porphyria Cutanea Tarda vs. Acute Intermittent Porphyria. Porphyrias are inherited metabolic disorders of the heme synthesis pathway, with a specific porphyria condition associated with each enzyme in the heme synthesis pathway. All of the porphyrias are rare conditions and have a varied clinical presentation that includes signs and symptoms involving the skin, GI system and nervous system. Porphyria cutanea tarda and acute intermittent porphyria are among the most common porphyria conditions, but each has a varied clinical presentation.

In this lesson, you will learn the role of the heme synthesis pathway in each of the porphyria conditions, and you will also learn the clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatments of porphyria cutanea tarda and acute intermittent porphyria.
