ACUTE PORPHYRIA IN A HYPERTHYROID PATIENT
View through CrossRef
Abstract. A report is given on a female patient, 53 years of age, with acute porphyria and hyperthyroidism. The coincidence of these two conditions is probably rare but nonetheless presumably more common than is usually believed. The diagnosis of hyperthyroidism in acute porphyria may be difficult owing to some clinical phenomena common to both conditions and owing to the fact that in acute porphyria the serum protein bound iodine is often increased. The occurrence of hyperthyroidism in a patient with latent porphyria may induce its manifestation and increase the severity of the disease through unknown metabolic pathways.
