Description
Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is a type of porphyria, a group of disorders that result from problems with the production of heme, a substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen. PCT is the most common type of porphyria. People with PCT have a deficiency of the enzyme uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UROD). This enzyme is needed to make heme. Without enough UROD, the body can't make heme, and heme builds up in the body.
