Sammanfattning
Patients with acute porphyria are at risk of life-threatening attacks when exposed to stress, fast, infection, alcohol and especially some drugs,
including older anaesthetics. Acute porphyrias are rare inherited diseases caused by inefficient enzymatic activity within the haem synthesis. During
attacks the patient suffers from severe abdominal pain, cardiovascular instability, neurological symptoms etc. Preventive measures and treatment
should be known to anaesthesiologists and surgeons in particular and known to other clinicians in general. In order to assist the clinicians, drug
databases are available online.
