Elevated porphyrins can mean a lot of things, such as arsenic or an organic material. I am unaware of the newer test, so I can't comment on that.
Fecal tests measure elimination of mercury, and to some extent exposure can be extrapolated from the data, as you note with the higher fecal elimination of mercury in people with amalgams. But many or most people with numerous Amalgams show no signs of Amalgam illness. Exposure is really not what is at issue.
The existence of challenge tests makes evident the fact that straight urine and fecal testing aren't adequate indicators in and of themselves. Challenge tests are dangerous, and when done with DMSA or DMPS can not be expected to measure mercury in the central nervous system, but they do have some added utility over that of a straight urine test, as it will liberate some mercury that would not normally have been present in the urine.
