Increased urinary porphobilinogen |
| Definitions |
Increased porphobilinogen (PBG) in urine is pathognomonic of an attack of acute porphyria (acute intermittent porphyria, variegate porphyria, hereditary coproporphyria); the absence of increased urinary PBG in a suspected attack excludes the diagnosis. The concentration of porphobilinogen in the urine, normalized for urine concentration, is above the upper limit of normal. |
