The United Porphyrias Association is committed to improving the quality of life of the porphyria patient community and is relentlessly focused on advancing disease awareness, research, and therapies in all the porphyrias.
A world where patients are free from the pain and challenges of porphyria.
"I was diagnosed at the age of 6 with EPP after my parents noticed that every time I was outside I was experiencing anguishing discomfort. I never fully comprehended my diagnosis until I was able to connect with others. With the help of the UPA, I want to be able to help others live more comfortably with EPP and support the vision of a world where patients are free from the pain and challenges of porphyria. "
