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

    The Porphobilinogen (PBG) test is a diagnostic tool used to measure the levels of porphobilinogen in urine. Porphobilinogen is a substance that plays a key role in the production of heme, an essential component of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. This test is particularly important for diagnosing porphyrias, a group of disorders caused by abnormalities in heme production. When a person is suspected of having porphyria, especially during an acute attack, the PBG levels can rise significantly. Therefore, this test is often conducted when symptoms such as abdominal pain or neurological issues arise. The urine sample for the test should ideally be collected early in the morning and needs to be protected from light to prevent degradation of the sample. The laboratory analyses this sample using techniques like ion-exchange chromatography and spectrophotometry to quantify the amount of PBG present. Normal results typically indicate low levels of PBG, while elevated levels may suggest conditions such as acute intermittent porphyria or other related disorders. . If you're in Bangalore Bangalore, you can easily have the Porphobilinogen (PBG) Qualitative Urine test conducted from the comfort of your home to evaluate your PBG levels.
