delta-Aminolevulinic acid dehydratase deficiency porphyria (ADP) with syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) in a 69-year-old woman.
    The Kobe journal of medical sciences, 1995, Volume: 41, Issue:1-2

    delta-Aminolevulinic acid dehydratase deficiency porphyria (ALAD porphyria, ADP) with syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) in a 69-year-old woman is reported. The patient was admitted to our hospital complaining of slight cough with low-grade fever, and treated with piperacillin sodium, resulting in complete resolution of the symptoms, following a diagnosis of bronchopneumonia. Thereafter, however, she began to complain of vomiting, abdominal pain, facial numbness and paresis of the extremities with gait disturbance, and became comatose with hyponatremia (serum Na concentration 119 mEq/L) in a few days. Laboratory tests revealed an antidiuretic hormone (ADH) level of 13.5 pg/mL, plasma osmolality 218 mOsm/KgH2O, urinary osmolality 429 mOsm/KgH20, urinary Na concentration > 20 mEq/L, and no abnormalities of thyroid, adrenal or renal function. Neither edema nor dehydration was evident. These data indicated the presence of SIADH. No abnormalities suggestive of malignant or infectious diseases such as lung cancer, pneumonia and Guillain-Barré syndrome were evident from laboratory and roentgenographic findings. As the cause of SIADH, therefore, porphyria was suspected. Metabolites and activities of enzymes in the heme biosynthetic pathway were examined, and very low activity of delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALA-D) (0.14 mumol PBG/mL RBC/h) was found. The patient was neither an alcoholic nor a heavy smoker, and she had no past history of heavy metal intoxication, photosensitivity or tyrosinemia. On the basis of these data and clinical features, she was diagnosed as having ADP. We consider this to be the first case of ADP reported in Japan.

[Inappropriate secretion of anti-diuretic hormone in a case of intermittent acute porphyria (author's transl)].
    La Nouvelle presse medicale, 1978, Apr-01, Volume: 7, Issue:13

    The authors report the case of a patient who presented, during two exacerbations of intermittent acute porphyria, a grave psychiatric syndrome secondary to severe hyponatraemia. The later was due to inappropriate secretion of anti-diuretic hormone confirmed by laboratory tests and the stimation of anti-diuretic activity in the urine. The course was favourable under the effects of symptomatic treatment including sodium supplements and fluid restriction. The anti-diuretic syndrome disappeared on each occasion without sequelae at the time of regression of the exacerbation of porphyria.

[Syndrome of inappropriate secretion of vasopressin. Apropos of 3 cases].
    La semaine des hopitaux : organe fonde par l'Association d'enseignement medical des hopitaux de Paris, 1977, May-23, Volume: 53, Issue:20

    3 cases of inappropriate vasopressin secretion during one case of anaplastic carcinoma of the lung, one case of carcinoma of the prostate with bony metastases and one case of acute intermittent porphyria are presented. The plasma levels of vasopressin, measured by radioimmunoassay were high. Treatment with demeclocycline was attempted in one case. The clearance of free water was positive but the treatment was poorly tolerated by the digestive tract.
