About

Porphyria disease is an extremely rare genetic disorder among porphyrias, which results from a deficiency or defect of certain enzymes in the body.



Less than 100 cases have been documented worldwide, and porphyria disease only affects 1 to 5 people per million.



Symptoms can include severe abdominal pain, vomiting, muscle cramps, seizures, frequent itching, extreme sensitivity to sunlight, changes to skin pigmentation, and mental disturbances such as paranoia or sharp mood swings. In some forms of porphyria disease, the symptoms are triggered by exposure to chemicals including alcohol and barbiturates.



In other types of porphyria disease symptoms only become apparent during times of stress, fever, or after childbirth.



Since porphyria diseases often do not become apparent until maturity porphyria disease is considered a late-onset disorder.



Although porphyria disease is not known to be fatal, it can result in hospitalization and even death due to acute attacks.
