The effect of treatment on plasma uroporphyrin levels in cutaneous hepatic porphyria.
Seven patients undergoing treatment for cutaneous hepatic porphyria had serial measurements of their plasma uroporphyrin. In each case there was a progressive fall during treatment but even in remission the levels did not return to normal. There was a significant correlation between urinary and plasma uroporphyrin concentrations.
