heptacarboxyl porphyrins / phyriaporphyrins / pseudouroporphyrins

All three of these names denote the same substance:
https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/168414#section=CAS

But in practice the first is the one that seems to be used in laboratory urine analysis reports, if any:
http://www.mayomedicallaboratories.com/test-updates/attachme...

In practice "phyriaporphyrins" doesn't seem to be used.

The two normally mentioned in urine analysis are uroporphyrin and coproporphyrin, but there are others:

"The quantitative urine porphyrins revealed elevation of uroporphyrins, heptacarboxyl-porphyrins, hexacarboxy-porphyrins, pentacarboxyl-porphyrins and coproporphyrin."

It's plural because it's not just one substance but a set of related ones, particularly I and III type.

"The biochemical hallmark of PCT is the marked hepatic overproduction of uro- and heptacarboxyl-porphyrins."
https://books.google.es/books?id=kE6mmwm5d8UC&pg=PA457&lpg=P...

For what it's worth, it's the term used in this book on passing the FRACP (Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians) exams:

And here's another example of its use in lab reports:

I remembered it from biochemistry class, but that was 20 years ago. The nomenclature may have changed as they often do in biochemistry.
