Abstract

Chemical and physical properties of porphyrines and their metabolism in human body are briefly described. Biosynthesis of porphyrines, production of methaemoglobin, and the influence of lead on this process are discussed in more detail. A review is given of the literature concerning the determination of coproporphyrine in urine as a method both for the detection of increased exposition to lead and early diagnosis of lead poisoning.
