What is a non-acute porphyria?
Non-acute porphyrias present as chronic diseases.
What were porphyrias affecting heme biosynthesis in the liver called?
Hepatic porphyrias.
Is cancer an acute disease?
Cancer is a chronic disease, but may have an acute clinical presentation
What is the underlying cause of all porphyrias?
The underlying cause of all porphyrias is a defective enzyme important to the heme biosynthesis pathway. Porphyrias are inheritable conditions.
What are alternative treatments for porphyrias?
Acupuncture or hypnosis and relaxation techniques such as yoga may be used as adjuncts to conventional therapy. As acute attacks can be life threatening it is important to have a physician.
What are the 4 different steps at which heme biosynthesis defects occur with acute porphyrias?
ALA dehydratase deficiency porphyria (step 2); acute intermittent porphyria (step 3); hereditary coproporphyria (step 6); variegate porphyria (step 7).
What is repetition in the poem porphyrias lover?
The repetition in the poem Porphyrias Lover is "that moment she was mine, mine".
Are there real vampires living among us?
It is said vampires exist but some say it is all false, they is a disease called vampire disease, the proper name for it is Porphyrias. Porphyrias are a group of inherited or acquired disorders of certain enzymes in the heme bio-synthetic pathway (also called porphyrin pathway). They are broadly classified as acute (hepatic) porphyrias and cutaneous (erythropoietic) porphyrias, based on the site of the overproduction and accumulation of the porphyrins (or their chemical precursors). They manifest with either neurological complications or skin problems (or occasionally both). A clinically induced and histologically identical condition is called pseudoporphyria. Pseudoporphyria is characterized by normal serum and urine porphyrin levels.
What is the medical condition porphyrias?
The porphyrias are disorders in which the body produces too much porphyrin and insufficient heme (an iron-containing nonprotein portion of the hemoglobin molecule).
What were porphyrias affecting heme biosynthesis in immature red blood cells called?
Erythropoietic porphyrias (erythropoiesis is the process through which red blood cells are produced).
What are the 4 different steps at which heme biosynthesis defects occur with non-acute porphyrias?
Congenital erythropoietic porphyria (step 4); porphyria cutanea tarda (step 5); hepatoerythopoietic porphyria (step 5); erythropoietic protoporphyria (step 8).
