How does porphyria affect the body?
Porphyria is a group of disorders caused by the buildup of porphyrins or porphyrin precursors, which are essential for the production of hemoglobin. This buildup can lead to a variety of symptoms, including severe abdominal pain, skin sensitivity to sunlight, neurological complications, and psychiatric symptoms. The specific effects on the body vary depending on the type of porphyria, as some forms primarily affect the nervous system while others impact the skin. Treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms and preventing triggers.
Is porphyria an autoimmune disease?
