    Sammanfattning : This thesis comprise five studies on patients with acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) observed under different clinical conditions associated with the disorder. They have generally been monitored at the porphyria out-patient clinic in Stockholm South Hospital, and were biochemically monitored at Porphyria Centre Sweden. LÄS MER
