Abstract Recent research has elucidated several of the hitherto poorly understood steps in heme synthesis. This review describes this metabolic pathway and pinpoints the enzymatic blockages in the various porphyrias. Recent advances in the understanding of the etiology of porphyria cutanea tarda are discussed, as are the abnormalities of porphyrin metabolism seen in chronic renal failure and in lead poisoning. An outline is given of the clinical and biochemical abnormalities seen in the porphyrias. Included is an algorithm to aid in the differential diagnosis of these diseases, and a brief review of the new analytical techniques available for the identification and quantification of porphyrins and their precursors in body fluids.

Biochemical Abnormalities

Renal failure is associated with an increased incidence of hemorrhage from a variety of sites, particularly in patients undergoing surgical procedures. The primary factors in the pathogenesis of bleeding in renal failure are platelet biochemical abnormalities and alterations in platelet vessel wall interactions. Hemodialysis improves hemostatic abnormalities in uremia, but the need for heparinization during the procedure may increase the bleeding risk. The risk of bleeding may be minimized by using peritoneal dialysis or alternative means to routine heparinization to prevent clotting in the extracorporeal circulation during hemodialysis. These include use of minimal heparin, prostacyclin, regional citrate anticoagulation, and no anticoagulation. Continuous arteriovenous hemodialysis may also be performed with regional citrate anticoagulation. There are several nondialytic therapies that may be used to prevent or treat hemorrhage in renal failure patients. These include administration of cryoprecipitate, 1-deamino-8-arginine vasopressin, estrogens, red blood cells, and erythropoietin. A clinical strategy to minimize bleeding complications in dialysis patients is presented.

Biochemical Abnormalities

We present a case of bladder injury as a complication of gynaecological laparoscopic surgery. A young female presented with peritonitis, an acute systemic inflammatory response and biochemical features of acute renal failure secondary to urinary peritonitis. Laparotomy with drainage of urine from the peritoneal cavity and repair of the bladder perforation resulted in rapid resolution of the biochemical abnormalities.
