Acute Intermittent Porphyria - Overview - Acute Intermittent Porphyria (AIP) typically presents in adulthood and in females instead of males. Onset after menopause is rare but possible. Earlier onset in late teens or early 20s is more common. The use of drugs along with intermittent infections are precipitating factors; keep in mind that there are many triggers.

AAB MT Hematology Question and answer 2023/2024 verified to pass What is hemoglobin composed of? - correct answer 4 heme, 4 iron, 4 globins What disorder does a defect in heme synthesis lead to? - correct answer Porphyria Porphyria - correct answer Deficiency in the enzymes of the porphyrin pathway leads to insufficient production of heme. The principal problem in these deficiencies is the accumulation of porphyrins, the heme precursors, which are toxic to tissue in high concentrations. ...
