Could a hidden liver disorder explain some POTS cases?
NCT ID NCT05344599
Summary
This study aims to find out how often people with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) also have a rare liver condition called acute hepatic porphyria (AHP). Researchers will study about 50 people with POTS to look for signs of AHP and compare their symptoms and hormone levels. The goal is to see if screening POTS patients for AHP could be helpful, since treatments exist for AHP.
