A Case Report of Pregnancy in Porphyria and It’s Complications

Abstract

Porphyrias and reproduction are poorly understood, as is the case with many uncommon disorders. Even more information about pregnancy complications in porphyria patients is scarce. The data we collect comes from attending to specific cases. The following case report demonstrates a rare case of porphyria cutanea tarda in a 30 years old female patient, who presented to the Emergency department of Government Medical College Nagpur as a case of severe anemia having delivered a still born baby the same day elsewhere. Stillbirths, spontaneous abortions, preeclampsia, and low birth weights are only a few of the known pregnancy issues in porphyria patients.
