Ruling in/out CEP, a disorder caused by decreased
uroporphyrinogen III synthase activity
Not useful for ruling out acute intermittent porphyria, a disorder
caused by decreased uroporphyrinogen I synthase (also
known as porphobilinogen deaminase). For AIP, order #88925
"Porphobilinogen (PBG) Deaminase, Erythrocytes".

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
Note: This test measures UPG III synthase to diagnose
congenital erythropoietic porphyria. It does not
measure UPG I synthase, the enzyme deficiency
responsible for acute intermittent porphyria (AIP).
For AIP (and UPG I synthase), order #88925
"Porphobilinogen (PBG) Deaminase, Erythrocytes."
See "Porphyria (Acute) Testing Algorithm" and
"Porphyria (Cutaneous) Testing Algorithm" in
