  • Title: A case of erythropoietic protoporphyria with severe liver dysfunction suggesting a close relationship between erythrocyte protoporphyrin levels and those of gamma-GTP.
    Author: Watanabe M, Ohgami T, Nonaka S, Yoshida H, Tanaka M.
    Journal: J Dermatol; 1991 Oct; 18(10):610-2. PubMed ID: 1791242.
    Abstract:
    A case of erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) with severe acute abdominal pain and jaundice was reported. Erythrocyte protoporphyrin (PP) levels were constantly high, and liver histology showed a slight fibrosis with inflammatory infiltration. During the investigation period of 18 months, erythrocyte PP levels closely paralleled those of serum gamma-GTP.
