Erythropoietin for the Treatment of Porphyria Cutanea Tarda in End Stage Renal Disease
Porphyria Cutanea Tarda (PCT) is an iron-related disease that results from acquired inhibition of hepatic uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UROD), the fifth enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Clinically, PCT presents with chronic photosensitive vesiculo-bullous skin lesions that are painful and …
