Haemodialysis-related porphyria cutanea tarda and treatment by recombinant human erythropoietin.

Haemodialysis-related porphyria cutanea tarda is a rare, but serious and mutilating skin condition, resulting from extremely high plasma porphyrin levels because of their inadequate clearance by haemodialysis. The treatment is very difficult as chloroquine is ineffective and venesection, the conventional treatment of this disease, is not always an option because of anaemia of end-stage renal disease. We report a case of haemodialysis-related porphyria cutanea tarda and her successful management by recombinant human erythropoietin treatment.

Why 100 patients failed to keep an outpatient appointment-audit in a dermatology department.

Failure to keep outpatient appointments is common at all clinics and various explanations may be offered. One hundred attending patients who had failed to keep their previous dermatology clinic appointment were asked the reason for their non-attendance. Many and varied reasons were given but illness (28%), and problems related to appointments (33%) were prominent. They were also asked how they had obtained a further appointment. Stricter follow-up of non-attenders by the hospital including informing the GP, and subsequent GP action if necessary, may improve attendance figures.
