ABSTRACT
Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is the commonest of the porphyrias (Semin Liver Dis 1998;1867). It often occurs secondary to an underlying internal disorder, has significant impacts on liver health and longevity, and is a treatable disease. Thus, for the clinician, recognising the disease to make the correct diagnosis, identifying causative underlying diseases, and treating the porphyria and its complications, are crucial. Although reviews on the management of PCT have been written, there have recently been significant advances in the understanding of the factors predisposing to the disease, and of its wider health impacts. This review aims to help the clinician to diagnose and manage patients with PCT, with an emphasis on the impact of recent advances on clinical management.
