| Popis: | Delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase porphyria (ADP) is a rare cause of acute polyneuropathy. It should be part of the differential diagnosis in every patient presenting with polyneuropathy and elevated liver enzymes. Genetic, acquired and environmental factors can play a role in the clinical manifestations and there are several steps in reaching the diagnosis. We present the case of a male patient with at least two possible causes for his symptoms, the diagnostic process and the outcome. |
