Laboratory studies CBC: normal or nonspecific findings BMP: possible Na + , Cr Liver chemistries: AST and ALT Imaging: frequently performed in acute attacks to rule out differential diagnoses Abdominal imaging (x-ray or CT): Typically normal May show dilated bowel loops with air-fluid levels representing an ileus MRI or CT brain Typically normal May show white matter vasogenic edema affecting the posterior brain, consistent with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) [9] Confirmatory studies First-line testing: spot urine sample for heme precursor levels Porphobilinogen (PBG): ( 20200 mg/L) -aminolevulinic acid (ALA): ( 10100 mg/L) Second-line testing Porphyrin levels: greatly increased in urine, normal to slightly increased in feces and plasma Erythrocyte porphobilinogen: decreased Enzyme activity measurement and DNA testing A 24-hour urine collection is not necessary for the diagnosis of an acute AIP attack and delays diagnosis
