What this test measures

This section shows the biological marker/agent measured by this diagnostic test. Each marker/agent opens its own page with related conditions. Detailed reference ranges are shown separately in the Reference ranges and concentrations section below, so they are not repeated here.

Coproporphyrin (Blood)	0 – 95	µg/24hrs	All	Male	Blood Studies / Red Blood Cell Tests
Porphobilinogen (Blood)	0 – 2	mg/24hrs	All	Both	Blood Studies / Red Blood Cell Tests
Total Porphyrins (Blood)	4 – 79	µg/24hrs	All	Female	Blood Studies / Red Blood Cell Tests
