چکیده
Lead poisoning and acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) may exhibit similar neurologic manifestations, and they have in common elevated excretion of urinary aminolevulinic acid (ALA). Despite their similarities, the possible pathophysiologic connection between AIP and lead poisoning in not known. Because intravenous hematin administration has produced biochemical improvement in AIP, a hematin trial in lead intoxication was of interest with respect to some of the heme metabolism abnormalities observed in the condition. Significant diminution of urinary ALA and coproporphyrin excretion occurred in association with intravenous hematin administration.

The relationship of rabbit Cx-reactive protein (CxRP) and the enzymatic activity of hepatic and kidney catalases in rabbits following i.v. hematin administration has been examined sequentially. The early increases in rab bit liver and kidney catalatic activities were accompanied by the corresponding decreases in ßCxRP and an early appearance of 7 CxRP after hematin administration.

متن کاملMalarial Pigment (hematin) as a Factor in the Production of the Malarial Paroxysm
The paroxysm of hematin intoxication in the rabbit undoubtedly presents many features of striking similarity to the paroxysm of human malaria; still one must hesitate to apply such results unreservedly in an attempt to identify the causative agent of the malarial paroxysm. When, in addition to the character of the paroxysm, we consider the sequence of events in the two instances, the analogy be...
