Stool Porphyrin Screen

Alaska rates for HCPCS 84127

Looks for porphyrins in a stool sample and reports whether they are found, rather than measuring how much is there. Porphyrins are chemicals the body makes on the way to producing heme, the pigment that carries oxygen in red blood cells. Finding them where they would not normally be expected points to one of the porphyrias - uncommon inherited conditions in which heme production does not run properly.
