Porphyrins in Urine Serve as a Functional Fingerprint of Toxicity

Tuesday, 7 April 2009 14:22 by Terry Pollock   RSS Feed

Porphyrins are proteins measured in urine that help to identify the effects toxins have on the heme pathway. Porphyrins accumulated in the body can help convey exposure to toxins in the environment and identify high levels of heavy metal toxicity, such as mercury. Accumulation of toxins in the body also plays a key role in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

This presentation will uncover answers to the following questions:

  • What are Porphyrins?
  • Why evaluate Porphryins?
  • What can Porphyrins testing identify?
  • What disorders are affected by toxin accumulation?
  • What is the relationship of mercury levels and porphyrins in relation to children with ASD?
