Abstract:
Porphyrias are rare metabolic disorders. Lack of awareness and knowledge about the clinical features of porphyrias results in diagnostic and therapeutic delays for many patients. Delays in diagnosing and treating porphyrias can result in severe, progressive morbidity (and mortality) and psychological distress for patients. This review discusses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of the most prevalent porphyrias: acute intermittent porphyria, porphyria cutanea tarda, and erythropoietic protoporphyria.

Enhanced Elimination of Poison
Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.
