Abstract
The role of the kidney in disorders of porphyrin metabolism, especially in lead poisoning, remains obscure. The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether or not porphyrins predominate quantitatively in the kidneys, compared with other organs known to be the site of porphyrin synthesis, and to note possible correlation between the disorders of metabolism of pyrrole pigments and morphologic changes, especially hyperplasia and possibly neoplasia, as described by other authors (1, 9) in animals fed lead acetate.
