Porphyria is not an autoimmune disease. Although, signs and symptoms of the disease mimic lupus, which is an autoimmune disease.

On the other hand, porphyria is based on a malformation of heme precursors, called porphyrins. The name porphyria comes from Greek porphyra, which means purple pigment, and references the purple color of the urine seen in some porphyria cases.
