A screening test for urinary porphyrin excretion was performed amound 1433 diabetes patients (552 males and 881 females). In three patients (0.21)% the diagnosis of porphyria cutanea tarda was ascertained. ⋯ The sulfonylurea Oradian was the likely etiopathogenic factor in only one out of three patients. The above mentioned observations do not speak in favour of independent etiological porphyrinogenic influence of antidiabetic sulfonylurea drugs.
