Etiology Because plasma porphyrin levels in individuals with chronic renal failure may be mildly elevated, [4] or occasionally high enough to overlap levels seen in porphyria patients with normal renal function, [5] porphyrin photosensitization may play [emedicine.medscape.com]

The presence of albuminuria and occasional granular casturia has made difficulty in excluding chronic glomerulonephritis as the possible etiologic factor. [doi.org]
