PORPHYRIAS PROGNOSIS |
|
|
|
Even in the presence of a genetic
inheritance for a porphyria, symptom development depends on a
variety of factors. In the majority of cases, a person remains
asymptomatic throughout life. Porphyria symptoms are rarely fatal
with proper medical treatment, but they may be associated with
temporarily debilitating or permanently disfiguring consequences.
Measures to avoid these consequences are not always successful,
regardless of how diligently they are pursued. Although pregnancy
has been known to trigger porphyria attacks, it is not as great a
danger as was once thought. |
