[Repeated venesection in pseudoporphyria cutanea tarda of hemodialysis (author's transl)].
Cutaneous syndrome called porphyria tarda-like of dialyzed patients may involve risk of infections besides aesthetic complications. We have described a very serious case of which the therapeutic problem has become oppressive inducing various attempts, already used for porphyria cutanea tarda or completely new. The only treatment which brought improvement in symptomatology was repeated venesection. Aminoacidic loss during dialysis appears as possible pathogenetic hypothesis for this syndrome.
