Urinary Porphryns Results

Well, I got Nicholas’s Urinary Porphryns Results back from France….  in short, this confirms Mercury, Lead and Arsenic poisoning.

Here are some more details:
His uroporphryn was 30 nmol (reference range 8-20) – elevated due to xenobiotic exposure; pcb’s, pesticides, toxic chemicals and dioxins  (arsenic and aluminum can cause this number to be elevated.)
His Heptacarboxyporphryn was 4.6 (reference range 2-5)
His hexacarboxyporphryn was within range at 1.0 (ref range 0.5-1.5)
His Pentacarboxyporphyn was 4.6 (ref range 2-4)
His Precoproporphryn was high at 15 (ref range 5-9) – this is a marker for mercury exposure as this is only found in urine when person has elevated levels of mercury
His coproporphyrn was high at 398 (ref range 100-200) – this shows an overall toxic metal burden in the body; shows exposure to lead, mercury and arsenic.  Because the copro is more elevated than the precopro, another metal is at play here (lead or arsenic)
