Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Alkaptonuria is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disease that leads to the deposition of homogentisic acid."4.84Alkaptonuria presenting with ochronotic spondyloarthropathy. ( Al-Mahfoudh, R; Buxton, N; Clark, S, 2008)
" The finding of a massively elevated excretion of homogentisic acid (HGA) in the patient's urine confirmed the suspicion that the complaints were due to underlying alkaptonuria."3.76A metabolic cause of spinal deformity. ( Effelsberg, NM; Hügle, T; Walker, UA, 2010)
" Homogentisic acid was present in the patient's urine sample, suggesting him to be suffering from Alkaptonuria."3.76Chronic low backache and stiffness may not be due ankylosing spondylitis. ( Ahmed, S; Ali, N; Shah, Z, 2010)
" Observation of blue-gray pigmentation around his nose and ears suggested a diagnosis of ochronosis, which was confirmed by the detection of high levels of homogentisic acid in the urine and dark urine color following alkalization."3.72[Ankylosis of the spine in a case with ochronosis]. ( Bezer, M; Güven, O; Kocaoğlu, B, 2003)
