(GAPS) HOME DISORDERS GLOSSARY Porphyria, Congenital Erythropoietic also known as: CEP Congenital Porphyria Guenther Porphyria Gunther Disease Disorder Subdivisions Erythropoietic Porphyrias Hepatic Porphyrias (as defined by the National Organization for Rare Disorders Congenital Erythropoietic Porphyria (CEP) is extremely rare and is inherited through an autosomal recessive trait. It is also known as Guenther Porphyria. The deficient enzyme is uroporphyrinogen III cosynthase. As is characteristic of the erythropoietic porphyrias, symptoms usually begin during infancy. CEP is manifested by markedly increased levels of porphyrins in bone marrow, red blood cells, plasma, urine and feces. Porphyrins are also deposited in the teeth and bones. The Porphyrias are a group of at least seven disorders. The common feature in all porphyrias is the excess accumulation in the body of "porphyrins" or "porphyrin precursors." These are natural chemicals that normally do not accumulate in the body. Precisely which one of these porphyrin chemicals builds up depends upon the type of porphyria that a patient has.

Great care must be taken when prescribing for patients with acute porphyria since many drugs can induce acute porphyric crises. Since acute porphyrias are hereditary, relatives of affected individuals should be screened and advised about the potential danger of certain drugs. Treatment of serious or life-threatening conditions should not be withheld from patients with acute porphyria. Where there is no safe alternative, urinary porphobilinogen excretion should be measured regularly; if it increases or symptoms occur, the drug can be withdrawn and the acute attack treated. Haem arginate is administered by short intravenous infusion as haem replacement in moderate, severe or unremitting acute porphyria crises.

A: Porphyrias are a heterogeneous group of either inherited or acquired disorders of heme biosynthesis which cause either skin problems or a condition known as acute attack. Q: How do porphyrias occur? A: Porphyrias are a rare disorder. They occur due to specific abnormality of various enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway of heme production. As a result, excess amounts of porphyrias and their precursors accumulate in the body causing generalized clinical abnormalities. Q: What are the various types of porphyrias ?

Heme is an essential component of hemoglobin as well as many enzymes throughout the body. Description Biosynthesis of heme is a multistep process that starts with simple molecules and ends with a large, complex heme molecule. Each step of the biosynthesis pathway is directed by its own task-specific protein, called an enzyme. As a heme precursor molecule moves through each step, an enzyme modifies it in some way. If the precursor is not modified, it cannot proceed to the next step. This situation is the main characteristic of the porphyrias. Owing to a defect in one of the enzymes of the heme biosynthesis pathway, protoporphyrins or porphyrin (heme precursors) are prevented from proceeding further along the pathway. Instead, precursors accumulate at the stage of the enzyme defect and cause an array of physical symptoms in the affected person. Specific symptoms depend on the point at which heme biosynthesis is blocked and which precursors accumulate. In general, the porphyrias primarily affect the skin and the nervous system. Symptoms can be debilitating or life threatening in some cases. Porphyria is an inherited condition, but it may be acquired after exposure to poisonous substances.

Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Porphyria Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition The porphyrias are inherited or acquired disorders of specific enyzmes in the heme A heme is a metal-containing cofactor that consists of an iron atom contained in the center of a large heterocyclic organic ring called a porphyrin . And although porphyrins do not necessarily contain iron, a substantial fraction of porphyrin-containing metalloproteins do in fact have heme as their prosthetic subunit. There are three biologically important kinds of heme. The most common type of heme is called heme b . Hemoglobin and myoglobin are examples of proteins that contain heme b. Heme b is not covalently bound to the apoprotein it is found in. The structure of heme b is given here: Click the link for more information. biosynthetic pathway. They are broadly classified as hepatic porphyrias or erythropoetic porphyrias , based on the site of the overproduction and accumulation of the porphyrins A porphyrin is a heterocyclic macrocycle made from 4 pyrrole subunits linked on opposite sides through 4 methine bridges. The macrocycle, therefore, is completely aromatic, unlike the related corrins or chlorins. Porphyrins combine readily with metals, coordinating with them in the central cavity. Iron, zinc, copper, nickel, and cobalt containing porphyrins are known, and many other metals can be inserted. A porphyrin in which no metal is inserted in its cavity is called "free base".

Click here to view next page of this article THE PORPHYRIAS Porphyrias are a group of diseases that result from defective enzymes of heme biosynthesis. The seven different porphyrias correspond to an abnormality of a specific enzyme of the heme biosynthesis pathway. The genes coding for the enzymes are known in all porphyrias, and several mutations have been identified in porphyric patients Two major types of clinical manifestations occur in porphyrias. Acute porphyric attack, which is characterized by abdominal pain and neurologic manifestations, is a feature in acute intermittent porphyria, variegate porphyria, and hereditary coproporphyria. In all three conditions the porphyrin precursors porphobilinogen and 5-aminolevulinic acid are accumulated during attacks. In other porphyrias cutaneous symptoms In symptomatic patients the specific porphyria can easily be diagnosed by specific laboratory tests. Most porphyrias are inherited in autosomal dominant fashion, but the penetrance of the disease varies greatly. In many porphyrias, the majority of patients remain asymptomatic throughout their lives. Biochemical tests are often inaccurate in the diagnosis of latent cases of porphyria. When the underlying mutation in an affected family is known, the DNA diagnosis is accurate, but the genetic heterogeneity of individual porphyrias restricts usefulness of this method. ACUTE PORPHYRIAS The acute porphyriasacute intermittent porphyria, porphyria variegata, and hereditary coproporphyria are characterized by episodic acute attacks. During an acute attack, symptoms include severe abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation, often pain in the extremities and in the back, and psychologic symptoms that range from anxiety to delirium. Urine may be dark or red in color because of increased amounts of porphobilin and porphyrins. Sometimes the disease progresses to peripheral motor neuropathy

PORPHYRIAS Tests performed by the Chemical Pathology laboratory. For results, use ward computer or phone Lablink : 5995 or (09) 307-8995 or 0800 522 758. The samples should be collected whilst the patient has symptoms. If the patient does not have symptoms at the time of specimen collection, then it may not always be possible to eliminate porphyria as a cause for the patient's previous symptoms. ACUTE PORPHYRIA Both Acute Intermittent Porphyria and Porphyria Variegata can present with acute abdominal and/or neurological symptoms. SPECIMENS: If acute porphyria is suspected, a casual urine should be collected first and urine porphobilinogen (PBG) and porphyrins requested. PBG concentrations subside rapidly after the onset of an acute attack, and so early collection of the urine sample is important to make the diagnosis. Urine: 10 mL casual urine ( not a 24 hour collect). The sample must be protected from light by wrapping it in foil, and it should be delivered to the laboratory as quickly as possible . Request PBG and porphyrins. It is also important to collect a faecal specimen during the acute phase.
