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

    The Porphobilinogen (PBG), Quantitative 24-hour Urine test is used to measure how much porphobilinogen is present in the urine collected over a full 24-hour period. Porphobilinogen is part of the process that produces heme, which is an important component of hemoglobin—the molecule that carries oxygen in your blood. This test is especially helpful in diagnosing conditions like acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), which can cause severe abdominal pain, nerve issues, and other symptoms. To carry out the test, a patient needs to collect all urine over a 24-hour period. Once collected, the sample is sent to the lab, where it is analyzed to determine the PBG concentration. If the test shows elevated levels of porphobilinogen, it could indicate issues such as liver disease, lead poisoning, or different forms of porphyria. Typically, normal results are below 4 milligrams of PBG in a 24-hour sample. If levels are higher than normal, more tests may be needed to understand the underlying cause. If you live in Hyderabad, you can schedule this 24-hour urine test to be conducted from the convenience of your home.
