Introduction:
The porphyria diseases are inherited and may be exacerbated by environmental triggers. The most common symptoms are abdominal pain, constitutional symptoms, and mental symptoms. The diagnosis of acute intermittent porphyria is usually made during an attack. The initial diagnosis of porphyria is made with the help of biochemical tests in the blood, urine and feces. The best diagnostic approach for carriers of the genes for porphyria, regardless of the manifestation of symptoms, is a molecular test of the genetic mutations, according to which the porphyria can be divided into different types.
