Preferred Label : Liver diseases due to porphyria;
ICD-11 definition : The porphyrias are a group of rare inherited or acquired disorders of certain enzymes
that normally participate in the production of porphyrins and heme. Pathogenesis is
storage of porphyrins, porphyrinogens, and their precursors. They manifest with either
neurological complications or skin problems, or occasionally both. Porphyrias are
classified as hepatic or erythropoietic based on the sites of accumulation of heme
precursors, either in the liver or bone marrow and red blood cells.;
