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

    The Porphobilinogen (PBG) test is a diagnostic urine test that measures the level of porphobilinogen, a biochemical compound involved in the heme synthesis pathway. Heme is an essential component of hemoglobin, the molecule responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood. This test is particularly valuable for diagnosing porphyrias—a group of disorders resulting from defects in heme production. During an acute porphyric attack, porphobilinogen accumulates and is excreted in the urine, making the PBG test highly effective in confirming the diagnosis of conditions like acute intermittent porphyria. Typical symptoms triggering this test include severe abdominal pain, neuropathy, and other neurological abnormalities. The urine sample should ideally be collected early in the morning and kept away from light to prevent the breakdown of sensitive compounds. In the laboratory, the sample is analyzed using sophisticated techniques such as ion-exchange chromatography and spectrophotometry to ensure accurate quantification of PBG levels. Normal test results generally indicate low PBG concentrations, while elevated levels are often indicative of acute porphyria or related heme synthesis disorders. For those residing in Gurgaon, the Porphobilinogen (PBG) Qualitative Urine test is available for home collection, providing a convenient and reliable option for diagnosis.
