Descriptor porfiria intermitente aguda
Entry term(s) porfiria aguda intermitente
Scope note: Forma de porfiria autosómica dominante debida a deficiencia de HIDROXIMETILBILANOSINTASA en el HÍGADO, la tercera enzima de la vía de 8 enzimas del HEMO. Las características clínicas son trastornos neurológicos potencialmente letales, recurrentes, DOLOR ABDOMINAL y elevación de la concentración de ÁCIDO AMINOLEVULÍNICO y PORFOBILINÓGENO en la orina.

Scope note: An autosomal dominant porphyria that is due to a deficiency of HYDROXYMETHYLBILANE SYNTHASE in the LIVER, the third enzyme in the 8-enzyme biosynthetic pathway of HEME. Clinical features are recurrent and life-threatening neurologic disturbances, ABDOMINAL PAIN, and elevated level of AMINOLEVULINIC ACID and PORPHOBILINOGEN in the urine.
