[Hemodialysis--is it a method of acute intermittent porphyria treatment? Case report].
In this paper a female patient with severe acute intermittent porphyria is presented in whom routine pharmacological treatment was unsuccessful. After five haemodialysis sessions a dramatic improvement of the clinical status was observed in spite of markedly elevated urinary excretion of porphyrin metabolites. Further studies are mandatory in order to evaluate the effectiveness of acute intermittent porphyria treatment.
