In the medical literature there are conflicting reports on whether iron improves symptoms in
patients with EPP and XLP. Giving iron to people who are iron deficient is thought to improve
EPP symptoms. However, this has never been systematically tested. Therefore, the purpose of
this study is to determine the effect of oral iron for EPP and XLP patients.
