For Physicians

This section includes more detailed information about the more common types of porphyria. To get started, click on the items below. For general information, see About Porphyria. Patients with frequent intermittent symptoms should have access to physicians who are familiar with AIP and with the patient's specific medical problems. If new symptoms arise, diseases unrelated to porphyria should be suspected. Like anyone else, AIP patients may develop other illnesses.

This section has also been translated into Portuguese as part of our Global Partnership Program.
