Localization of porphyrins in bone tissue in a case of porphyria cutanea tarda.

چکیده
It is well known that porphyrins can be adsorbed on to precipitates of calcium salts, and adsorption can take place under the most varying conditions. Thus, it has been shown that in certain diseases porphyrins are found to be adsorbed on to urinary sediments of calcium phosphates (Garrod, 1892; Dobriner, 1936; Sveinsson, Rimington, and Barnes, 1949) and on to the bone and tooth tissue in mammals.

Pseudoporphyria in association with Hepatitis C virus infection: A case report
Pseudoporphyria is an uncommon bullous disease with similar clinical and histopathological findings to porphyria cutanea tarda, in the absence of detectable porphyrin elevation. We present a 34-year-old man with clinical and histological findings compatible with porphyria cutanea tarda, whose his urinary uroporphyrin was negative and we concluded that he was a case of pseudoporphyria. Concomita...

We describe the methodology used for quantifying and characterizing porphyrins in various tissues and in excreta, in the diagnosis and monitoring of the therapeutic modulation of biochemical disease activity in a 53-year-old white man who has a rare form of familial porphyria cutanea tarda with bone marrow rather than hepatic expression of the disease. Liquid-chromatographic and thin-layer chro...
متن کاملFamilial porphyria cutanea tarda: the pattern of porphyrins formed from porphobilinogen by hemolysates.
Porphyria cutanea tarda is thought to result from an inherited deficiency of uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.37) in some patients. Present methods for determining uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase activity are time consuming, so we examined the pattern of porphyrins formed from porphobilinogen by hemolysates as a possible marker for hereditary porphyria cutanea tarda. After the hemolysate...
متن کاملDifferentiation of porphyria cutanea tarda symptomatica from other types of porphyria by measurement of isocoproporphyrin in faeces.
The faecal porphyrin patterns of 24 patients with porphyria cutanea tarda symptomatica (PCTS), eight patients with variegate porphyria, three patients with other types of porphyria, and 20 non-porphyrics subjects have been compared using a two-demensional thin layer chromatographic technique that separates porphyrins of the isocoproporphyrin series from other faecal porphyrins. The 'isocopropor...
متن کاملPorphyria cutanea tarda in a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) arises from inhibition of hepatic uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UROD) activity to less than 20% of normal. A UROD inhibitor is formed in liver in the presence of iron and oxidative stress, and has been isolated from mice with PCT. Accumulated porphyrinogens in the liver are oxidized to the correspondent porphyrins, which circulate in the plasma causing phototoxic...
