Abstract

ABSTRACT

Objective: Report the clinical condition of a patient admitted at the Hospital Regional de Sobradinho (HRS) with acute intermittent porphyria.

Case report: Woman, 28 years old, complaining of abdominal pain and acute neurological symptoms, in addition to laboratory tests showing severe hyponatremia and elevated transaminase levels.

Conclusion: Performing a complete anamnesis, associated with signs, symptoms and laboratory tests, may allow an earlier diagnosis and treatment in order to prevent the evolving to a poor prognosis.
