Larry, what does this mean?
> In porphyria, it is possible to see a dramatic increase in urinary PBG (a pyrrole). Porphyria can manifest as psychiatric symptoms, and go undiagnosed for many years.
I hate to ask it like this, but I will for lack of better wording. I hope you understand. Could porphyria and "pyroluria" be the same condition and treated the same way? I did test high for pyrroles in the urine, and I am really just trying to understand all of this.
Thanks,
