Acute Hepatic Porphyria (AHP)
Acute Hepatic Porphyria (AHP) is a group of rare genetic disorders caused by dysregulation of heme biosynthesis in the liver, leading to the accumulation of neurotoxic intermediates such as aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and porphobilinogen (PBG). It presents with acute, potentially life-threatening attacks, and may also cause chronic symptoms that negatively impact patient functioning and quality of life.
