My father was diagnosed with porphyria. should i be worried for him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Porphyria in family: It depends on what type of porphyria he has. Some porphyrias can be dangerous, and some can be hereditary so you need to ask him what type he has so that both you and he can get appropriate advice from your physicians.
