This test quantifies and differentiates various porphyrins in a 24-hour urine sample to diagnose and classify porphyrias.
It is performed when porphyria is suspected, especially in cases of unexplained abdominal pain, photosensitivity, or neurological symptoms.
A 24-hour urine collection is analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or spectrophotometry to identify porphyrin types.
Specific patterns of porphyrins indicate different types of porphyria. Elevated levels of certain porphyrins guide diagnosis and management.
Avoiding light exposure and certain foods or drugs before the test may be recommended.
