Coproporphyrin IV

Looking for an easy way to test and monitor your Coproporphyrin IV?
It's included in the HealthieOne Disease-Specific test.

Coproporphyrin IV

Explanation: Coproporphyrin IV is involved in heme production, a key process for making hemoglobin in red blood cells. Elevated levels can reflect imbalances in heme production or liver function.

Test purpose:

  • Detect porphyria: Helps diagnose rare genetic conditions like porphyria, where problems in heme production cause porphyrin buildup, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, light sensitivity, or nervous system issues.
  • Assess liver or bile system health: Abnormal levels may also point to liver dysfunction or bile flow issues.
