They can present with acute neurovisceral attacks, cutaneous symptoms, or a combination of both. As they present with a wide variety of clinical symptoms, diagnosis is often delayed and correct interpretation of porphyria\u2010related tests remains a challenge for many physicians. We developed and validated two algorithms for the laboratory diagnosis of porphyrias based on presenting symptoms. Based on a literature search and clinical\/laboratory expertise, we developed algorithms for acute and cutaneous porphyrias. We validated these algorithms using all porphyria related laboratory test requests between January 1st 2000 and September 30th 2020 in UZ Leuven. In addition, we also evaluated our algorithm using samples from the European porphyria network (EPNET) external quality assessment scheme (2010\u20132021). Sensitivity of the algorithm for acute porphyria was 100.0% [74.9%\u2013100.0%] (13 acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) and 1 variegate porphyria [VP]) with a specificity of 98.5% [91.0%\u2013100.0%] (65 patients). Sensitivity of the algorithm for cutaneous porphyria was 100% [95.1%\u2013100.0%] (7 VP, 59 porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT), 23 erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP), 2 X\u2010linked erythropoietic protoporphyria [XLEPP]) with a specificity of 93.9% [82.9%\u201398.5%]. There were no diagnostic samples of other types of porphyria. The algorithms correctly identified 18 of the 19 EPNET porphyria cases. One of the two hereditary coproporphyria cases was missed. The algorithms for acute and cutaneous porphyria showed high sensitivity and specificity and can be used to aid the clinician in correctly interpreting the laboratory findings of porphyria\u2010related tests.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jimd.12545","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,13]],"date-time":"2022-08-13T07:04:45Z","timestamp":1660374285000},"page":"1151-1162","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Development and validation of diagnostic algorithms for the laboratory diagnosis of porphyrias"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"45","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1208-4363","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stefanie","family":"Lefever","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Department of Laboratory Medicine University Hospitals Leuven  Leuven Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nele","family":"Peersman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Department of Laboratory Medicine University Hospitals Leuven  Leuven Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3170-1371","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wouter","family":"Meersseman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Metabolic Diseases University Hospitals Leuven  Leuven Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6154-0970","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Cassiman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Metabolic Diseases University Hospitals Leuven  Leuven Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7076-061X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pieter","family":"Vermeersch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Department of Laboratory Medicine University Hospitals Leuven  Leuven Belgium"},{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Sciences KU Leuven  Leuven Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(09)61925-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0004563216667965"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0004563212473278"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clinre.2015.05.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","unstructured":"EPNET.The Porphyrias.2021.
