Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is a disease caused by a deficiency of the fifth enzyme of the heme biosynthetic pathway in the liver that manifests in the skin as blistering and fragility of predominantly sun-exposed skin. It occurs in individuals with environmental and/or genetic risk factors such as estrogen use, hepatitis C infection and hemochromatosis gene mutations. This report highlights a case of PCT which manifested in an individual with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis; NASH). We propose that NASH may have been a contributing factor for the development of PCT in our patient. |
