Considered a rare disorder.
The porphyrias are disorders in which the body produces too much porphyrin and insufficient heme (an iron-containing nonprotein portion of the hemoglobin molecule).
The erythropoietic porphyrias and porphyria cutanea tarda are considered to be chronic conditions.
Hepatic porphyrias.
The underlying cause of all porphyrias is a defective enzyme important to the heme biosynthesis pathway. Porphyrias are inheritable conditions.
The repetition in the poem Porphyrias Lover is "that moment she was mine, mine".
It is said vampires exist but some say it is all false, they is a disease called vampire disease, the proper name for it is Porphyrias. Porphyrias are a group of inherited or acquired disorders of certain enzymes in the heme bio-synthetic pathway (also called porphyrin pathway). They are broadly classified as acute (hepatic) porphyrias and cutaneous (erythropoietic) porphyrias, based on the site of the overproduction and accumulation of the porphyrins (or their chemical precursors). They manifest with either neurological complications or skin problems (or occasionally both). A clinically induced and histologically identical condition is called pseudoporphyria. Pseudoporphyria is characterized by normal serum and urine porphyrin levels.
since that diesease is inhereted, your kinfolks have it....... The porphyrias are inherited or acquired disorders of certain enzymes in the heme biosynthetic pathway (also called porphyrin pathway). They are broadly classified as hepatic porphyrias or erythropoietic porphyrias, based on the site of the overproduction and mainly accumulation of the porphyrins (or their chemical precursors). The specific symptoms of each porphyria vary based on which enzyme is affected and whether that enzyme occurs in the liver or in the bone marrow
Erythropoietic porphyrias (erythropoiesis is the process through which red blood cells are produced).

All of the hepatic porphyrias--except porphyria cutanea tarda--follow a pattern of acute attacks separated by periods during which no symptoms are present.
