briseThe thing that got me screwed was the "increases synthesis of compounds"; like what compounds?+2020-06-03T00:20:01Z

sexymexican888@brise I think they were referring to the previous products of heme synthesis that build up (hydroxymethylbilane, uroporphynogen - or however the fk u spell it) I think those are what cause the blistering photosensitivity, im guessing it is since these dont accumulate in acute intermittent porphyria -> no skin symptoms. but yeah I agree these ppl fucking suck +2020-07-27T21:44:38Z
chaosawaits"Disorder caused by the increased synthesis of compounds in the skin that are subject to excitation by visible light" = heme;
"Disorder caused by lack of compounds in the skin that are subject to excitation by visible light" = melanin+2020-09-14T01:20:29Z
