Does porphyria show on blood tests? please, need some answers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treacherous: Your physician needs to think of porphyria, then order special labs depending on the type. Further, these tests are often done wrong; the sample must be collected exactly right and the problems just start there. Further, the person much actually be sick for the tests to turn up positive.
