For Healthcare Professionals

The UPA works closely with the American Porphyria Expert Collaborative (APEX) and the members of the UPA Scientific Advisory Board to provide up-to-date medical information for patients and their healthcare providers.

While we cannot provide medical advice or interpret lab results, we will be glad to seek assistance from a porphyria expert and arrange a peer-to-peer consult.
