Patients with acute hepatic porphyria (AHP) can have sudden (acute) symptoms that are severe and require them to go to the hospital. At times, these acute attacks can be triggered by stress, medications (drugs), diet, and environmental factors, among others. Avoiding or reducing exposure to known triggers is an important way to prevent acute AHP attacks. However, some people experiencing an attack may not know what caused the attack to happen.
