The journal Case Reports in Neurology has published a report about Porphyria cutanea tard. Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is a rare disease, with a strong association with hepatitis C virus. PCT is particularly problematic in end-stage renal disease patients as they have no renal excretion of porphyrins and these are poorly dialyzed. The full-text report you can find here.
