Red Cell Protoporphyrin, Measured Level

Washington, DC rates for HCPCS 84202

Measures the amount of protoporphyrin inside red blood cells, a substance that piles up when the final step of making the red pigment of blood is blocked. The result is reported as a number, so it can be compared with the normal range and followed over time. Raised levels point to iron shortage, lead exposure, or an inherited disorder of that pathway.
