Abstract
We report a case of hereditary coproporphyria with renal insufficiency in a 20 years old girl who had frequent abdominal pain. The typical clinical and biochem- ical findings of hepatic porphyria represent the heredi- tary coproporphyria, most likely. Her symptoms and signs were clearly exacerbated in a relation to the menstrual cycle. During admission, serum creatinine changed up to 3 8 mg/dl. Until 35 days after discharge, she was found to have persistently elevated serum creatinine concentration. On the renal biopsy, there was chronic Tubulo-Interstitial Nephritis, which presented with focal and mild degree interstitial edema, chronic inflammatory cells infiltrtion, and vacuolization of tubular cells. Possible etiologic factors including porphyria or its precursor itself for the renal insufficiency of this patient (HCP) should be discussed.
