About this study

porphyria is classified as a rare disease and is produced by defects in the enzymatic activity in the biosynthesis of the heme group that leads to the over-accumulation and excretion of porphyrin precursors in hepatocytes or erythroid cells, extrahepatic or extramedullary cells, tissue, and end-organ injury. Acute intermittent porphyria is the most common and severe form of hepatic porphyria, with an annual incidence of symptomatic patients of 0.13 per million people. Aim: characterization of cases of acute hepatic porphyria in Colombia. Methods: a descriptive pilot study of patients diagnosed with acute hepatic porphyria's in Colombia. Patients of all age groups with a confirmed diagnosis of acute hepatic porphyria. Patients with concomitant pathologies, as well as pregnant women, will also be included. Patients who refuse to participate in the study will be excluded. Expected results: describe the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients with a diagnosis of acute hepatic porphyria, and encourage patients and/or representatives in the research agenda.

Read the detailed description

A cross-sectional descriptive observational study is carried out in adult patients diagnosed with HAP in Colombia, the incidence and prevalence were estimated, the clinical, socio-demographic and acute attack characteristics are described, and the health-related quality of life was evaluated with the SF-36 questionnaire.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence

    Total new cases of acute porphyry

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 year

  2. Prevalence

    Total cases of acute porphyry in Colombia

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 year

  3. Life quality

    Describe the well-being of patients, seeks to measure the impact that medical interventions have on the level of well-being of the patient, limiting itself to the experience that he has of his illness and its impact on it, evaluated with the The Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36 questionnaire: there are 36 questions, the possible score is from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating a better health-related quality of life.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 year
