Measurement of porphyrins and porphyrin precursors has clinical significance beyond the detection or confirmation of lead poisoning. The porphyric diseases of man are characterized by the presence of a specific clinical syndrome and demonstration of abnormal porphyrin excretion or accumulation in the tissues. In addition, porphyrins accumulate in other disorders that are unrelated to lead poisoning or the porphyrias. These causes of erythrocyte porphyrin accumulation, porphyrinuria, and the porphyrias are discussed.
卟啉和卟啉前体的测量在临床意义上超出了铅中毒的检测或确诊范畴。人类的卟啉病具有特定临床综合征的表现，以及组织中卟啉排泄异常或蓄积的证据。此外，卟啉在其他与铅中毒或卟啉病无关的病症中也会蓄积。本文将讨论导致红细胞卟啉蓄积、卟啉尿症和卟啉病的这些病因。
