===Additional tests===
Further diagnostic tests of affected organs may be required, such as [[nerve conduction studies]] for [[neuropathy]] or an [[medical ultrasonography|ultrasound]] of the liver. Basic biochemical tests may assist in identifying [[liver disease]], [[hepatocellular carcinoma]], and other organ problems.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Di Pierro|first1=Elena|last2=De Canio|first2=Michele|last3=Mercadante|first3=Rosa|last4=Savino|first4=Maria|last5=Granata|first5=Francesca|last6=Tavazzi|first6=Dario|last7=Nicolli|first7=Anna Maria|last8=Trevisan|first8=Andrea|last9=Marchini|first9=Stefano|last10=Fustinoni|first10=Silvia|date=2021-07-26|title=Laboratory Diagnosis of Porphyria|journal=Diagnostics|volume=11|issue=8|pages=1343|doi=10.3390/diagnostics11081343|issn=2075-4418|pmc=8391404|pmid=34441276|doi-access=free}}</ref>

•Other Diagnosis{{cn|date=December 2024}}

Clinical Evaluation: A thorough medical history and physical examination focusing on symptoms related to photosensitivity, skin lesions, abdominal pain, and neurological manifestations.

Genetic Testing: Molecular genetic testing to identify specific gene mutations associated with congenital porphyrias.

Other Tests: Liver function tests, iron studies, and imaging studies such as ultrasound or MRI may be conducted to evaluate liver and spleen involvement.
