Abnormal patterns help diagnose different types of porphyria, a group of rare metabolic disorders, and can also indicate liver dysfunction or toxin exposure affecting heme synthesis.

- If there are symptoms like abdominal pain, neuropathy, or photosensitivity.
- If unexplained neurological or skin symptoms are present.
- If a healthcare provider is evaluating heme metabolism disorders.
