Porphyrins Profile

The Porphyrins Profile measures the level of porphyrins in urine. High levels of porphyrins may indicate porphyria, a group of inherited or acquired diseases that affect heme production. Elevated urine levels of porphyrins can result from various factors, including genetic deficiencies in heme production enzymes, hepatitis, renal disease, erythroid disease, and heavy metal poisoning.
