A 56-yr-old man presented with a photosensitive bullous dermatosis 1 yr after commencing hemodialysis. Urinary porphyrin levels were normal and fecal porphyrin levels only minimally increased, but the plasma uroporphyrin concentration was markedly elevated, being higher than that normally occurring in porphyria cutanea tarda. The high plasma uroporphyrin level was thought to result from the combined effects of increased porphyrin production and failure of adequate clearance by hemodialysis. Chronic alcohol ingestion, methyldopa therapy and elevated iron and aluminum levels may have contributed to the porphyrin overproduction. Charcoal hemoperfusion proved unhelpful in lowering the plasma uroporphyrin concentration.
