    What is a Porphobilinogen (PBG), Quantitative, 24 hours Urine Test?

    The Porphobilinogen (PBG), Quantitative 24-hour Urine test measures the total quantity of porphobilinogen excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. Porphobilinogen is an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of heme, an essential component of hemoglobin responsible for oxygen transport in the bloodstream. This quantitative test is particularly crucial for diagnosing specific types of porphyria, most notably acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), which manifests with severe abdominal pain, neuropathy, and other neurovisceral symptoms. For the test, the patient is required to collect all urine produced over a 24-hour period, ensuring accurate measurement of daily PBG excretion. The sample is then transported to the laboratory, where analysis is performed to quantify PBG concentrations, typically using ion-exchange chromatography or similar advanced analytical techniques. Elevated porphobilinogen levels may indicate disorders such as acute porphyria, hepatic dysfunction, or heavy metal toxicity, such as lead poisoning. Normal values for this test are usually less than 4 milligrams per 24 hours; results above this threshold necessitate further diagnostic evaluation to determine the underlying pathology. For patients in Delhi, the PBG Quantitative 24-hour Urine test can be conveniently arranged for home collection, offering a practical approach to comprehensive evaluation of PBG levels.
