[Porphyria cutanea tarda in a long-term hemodialysis patient].
A 61 year old man developed bullous skin lesions typical for porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) after being on maintenance hemodialysis for 3 years. The porphyrin level in the urine, plasma, erythrocytes and stool supported the diagnosis of porphyria cutanea tarda, a very rare disease in patients with chronic renal failure on hemodialysis. Therapeutic possibilities are reviewed.
