Abstract
Hypertension is a rare complication of acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) and is related to the sympathetic over-activity seen in this condition. We report a patient with AIP with malignant hypertension that recurred with a subsequent episode. Mechanisms of hypertension and renal damage are discussed.Entities:
