| Core Tip |
Rhabdomyolysis is a rare but important manifestation of an acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) attack. In this clinical scenario, urine discolouration might erroneously be ascribed to rhabdomyolysis, underlying the need for AIP diagnostic workup in the right clinical context. Our case illustrates that treatment with hemin and givosiran for longer than two years may be needed after a severe AIP attack with rhabdomyolysis and severe quadriparesis. If the period between givosiran administrations is prolonged, the physician must be vigilant for the possibility of a new attack. |
