Should doctors be informed that an individual has porphyria, even if it is latent?

Definitely yes!: Porphyria can be a serious problem, and latent means it can recur. It is always a good idea to be thorough about any and all medical conditions with your physicians and providers. Open communication can help prevent mistakes and properly focus your care.
