Acute hepatic porphyria masquerading as familial Mediterranean fever: results of a cross-sectional porphobilinogen screening.
Probable Acute Hepatic Porphyria Diagnosed Using Urinary Porphyrin Spectrophotometry in a Resource-Limited Setting: A Case Report.
Acute hepatic porphyrias are rare metabolic disorders that often present with recurrent neurovisceral symptoms and are frequently misdiagnosed. Definitive diagnosis relies on biochemical and genetic testing, which may be unavailable in resource-limited settings. We report a 36-year-old woman with recurrent episodes of severe colicky abdominal pain associated with vomiting and bowel disturbances, with minimal abdominal findings and repeatedly normal routine investigations. During an acute episode, urinary screening demonstrated a positive Hoesch test for porphobilinogen (PBG). Spectrophotometric analysis of urine total porphyrins revealed a Soret peak at approximately 405 nm, and the total urine porphyrin concentration was elevated at 349.635 nmol/L (reference: <300 nmol/L). Alternative causes of elevated urinary porphyrins were excluded clinically and biochemically. Due to the unavailability of intravenous hemin, the acute episode was managed with analgesia, supportive care, and carbohydrate, leading to symptom resolution. The patient was counselled on the avoidance of precipitating factors and long-term surveillance. This case illustrates the diagnostic value of clinical suspicion supported by basic biochemical testing in identifying probable acute hepatic porphyria in a resource-limited setting.
Hyponatremia and Abdominal Pain: A Case Report of Acute Hepatic Porphyria.
Acute hepatic porphyrias (AHPs) are rare metabolic disorders of heme biosynthesis that present with neurovisceral symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, and hyponatremia. Diagnosis is frequently delayed due to the nonspecific nature of the symptoms and insufficient awareness of the disease. A 23-year-old woman presented with diffuse abdominal pain, vomiting, myalgias, and severe hyponatremia (Na+ 104 mmol/L). Initial workup during hospitalization was inconclusive. Given the neurovisceral presentation and features of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH), including hypoosmolar serum and inappropriately concentrated urine, acute porphyria was suspected. Screening with a positive Hoesch test was performed, and urine samples for porphyrin precursor analysis were collected before discharge. After discharge, results confirmed markedly elevated urinary porphobilinogen and delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), confirming the diagnosis of acute hepatic porphyria. She was followed up in internal medicine and metabolic diseases. Despite preventive measures, she experienced a new acute attack requiring intravenous hemin. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge of acute porphyria. Hyponatremia, often due to SIADH, and elevated creatine kinase (CK) levels can be key biochemical clues. Early suspicion and targeted testing are essential for diagnosis and timely therapy. Acute hepatic porphyria should be considered in young patients with unexplained abdominal pain, vomiting, and severe hyponatremia. Early recognition, prompt biochemical testing, and appropriate management are key to improving outcomes.
Development and validation of an LC-MS/MS method for measurement of porphobilinogen in urine.
Measurement of urinary porphobilinogen (PBG) is used to diagnose acute porphyria, which results from disorders of heme biosynthesis. In response to clinical demand and to provide optimal patient care, we developed a simple and sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay for measurement of PBG in urine. Aliquots (50 µL) of urine were spiked with a stable isotope-labeled internal standard (13C2,15N-PBG); PBG was extracted using anion exchange solid phase extraction, and the extracts were analyzed using reverse phase chromatographic separation with mass spectrometry detection. Injection-to-injection time was 5.5 min. Measured concentrations were normalized to creatinine (Cr) concentration in random specimens; PBG excretion per day was calculated for 24-h urine collections. Mean recovery was 99.7 %; total imprecision of analysis was < 16 %. Limit of quantification of the method was 0.1 µmol/L and the upper limit of linearity was 100 µmol/L. Reference intervals (RI) for the ratio of PBG to Cr concentration in urine samples from apparently healthy adults were < 0.19 and < 0.17 mmol PBG/mol Cr for women and men, respectively. The RI for 24-h excretion established using LC-MS/MS was 0.39-1.40 µmol/24-h. Percent positivity determined following implementation of the LC-MS/MS method (7.6 %) compared well with the positivity rate of the spectrophotometric method (7.7 %). This LC-MS/MS method has sufficient specificity and sensitivity for analysis of urinary PBG in pathologic samples and samples from healthy subjects. RIs for PBG in random and 24-h urine collections were established and the clinical performance of the assay was evaluated.
Recommendations for recognizing and diagnosing Acute Hepatic Porphyria in atypical patient populations.
Acute Hepatic Porphyria (AHP) is a group of four rare genetic but treatable diseases that often go undiagnosed due to its non-specific symptoms, under-recognition of the condition by clinicians, and the lack of access to specialists and appropriate testing. This case-control study investigates the phenotypic and demographic patterns in AHP patients at a tertiary care center (University of California Los Angeles) to update recommendations for recognition and diagnosis of this disease in our community. A retrospective chart analysis was conducted on 45 patients who were evaluated for AHP, Electronic Medical Record (EMR) data was collected and analyzed to investigate clinical differences and correlations. 27 patients tested positive for AHP through urinary metabolites and confirmatory genetic testing and 18 patients tested negative; of those, 16 patients received a definite alternative diagnosis. Hashimoto’s, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), Fibromyalgia and cannabinoid use with cyclic vomiting syndrome were negatively correlated with AHP, while psychiatric disorders and obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) disorders were positively correlated with AHP. The highest rate of diagnosis resulted from a combination of genetic and biochemical testing. Testing outside of an acute attack was not associated with a positive diagnosis. Patients with a history of OBGYN disorders and psychiatric disorders may be at increased risk of having AHP, yet there is a lack of involvement of these specialties in the diagnosis and care of AHP, in addition to a lack of studies investigating AHP in non-white populations potentially leading to reduced recognition of AHP.
