Can the color of urine in Alkaptonuria vary?

Yes, the color of urine in Alkaptonuria can vary from dark brown to black, depending on factors such as hydration level, diet, and individual metabolism. However, the presence of homogentisic acid typically gives the urine a noticeable dark hue. Alkaptonuria is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the body's inability to properly break down certain amino acids, leading to the accumulation of homogentisic acid. This acid causes the characteristic darkening of urine upon exposure to air. Despite its distinct coloration, urine in Alkaptonuria is typically painless and odorless. The condition can be managed with dietary modifications and symptom management, but the cornerstone of treatment often involves the drug Nitisinone. It works by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for the production of homogentisic acid, helping to reduce its levels in the body and alleviate symptoms associated with Alkaptonuria.

"Phenylalanine is a primary amino acid that is abundant in dietary protein. It's main metabolic pathway yields the amino acid Tyrosine, which is involved in the production of Melanin pigments. Defects of enzymes responsible for interconversion of metabolites in the pathway are the cause of three well-studied, single-gene Inborn Errors of Metabolism: Phenylketonuria (PKU), Albinism (Melanin deficiency), and Alkaptonuria (excess HA)."

Yeah, that's called decomp/mummification

Um...bones don't turn black because of poisoning...they only turn black if they have a rare genetic condition called "Alkaptonuria"...or unless they've been badly decomposed/mummified, like I said

Rare Disease Day 28 Feb 2025 – Theme and Importance

Rare Disease Day is a worldwide healthcare event, typically observed either on the last day of February or near the last day of February each year, intending to bring together the patients suffering from rare diseases and create a community in which awareness of their rarity profile, their condition, their diagnosis and their treatment are discussed. This year 2025, World Rare Disease Day is observed on 28 February, Friday.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the basis of a rare disease can be identified with its epidemiology. The frequency of any rare disease should be less than 6.5-10 per 10,000 people.

An Indian non-profit company, Organization for Rare Diseases India (ORDI), is set up to provide a collective voice for all Indian patients with rare diseases. Given India's enormous population, ORDI considers an illness rare if it affects one in every 5,000 Indians or less. ORDI has listed 263 rare diseases in India. The first 10 of them are: 

Acanthocytosis Chorea - A neurological disorder that affects movement in many parts of the body).

Achalasia Cardia - A rare disorder that makes it difficult for food and liquid to pass from the swallowing tube connecting your mouth and stomach (oesophagus).

Acromesomelic Dysplasia – An inherited, skeletal disorder of short stature known as short-limb dwarfism. 

Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (AIDP) – A general classification of pathologies affecting the nervous system. 

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia – Blood cancer, especially the white blood cells. 

Addison's Disease (adrenal insufficiency) - The adrenal glands in the body don't make enough of certain cortisol and aldosterone hormones. 

Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) - A genetic condition damaging the myelin sheath (membrane) that covers nerve cells in the spinal cord and brain. 

Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy - An autoimmune disease of the peripheral nervous system, recognised over a century ago. 

Alagille syndrome - An inherited condition of bile that builds up in the liver.

Alkaptonuria (black urine disease) - an inherited condition of impaired protein breakdown resulting in the build-up of homogentisic acid.

Uhm so at the mental house in Gainesville Florida the men had these very lewd if without drugs protein habits that proved they had some homicidality to them Kenny would eat all the eggs like women don't exist......so I have had to formulate different habits to steal from or they don't pay the demigods

It use to be mine or women's to do so now some homicidal steals all my stuff with a marijuana budget into his house and tries to forcibly marry me

So anyway I was feeling so old and wrinkled and joint achey I ate the whole bag of enzyme keto buns with canned pizza sauce in one go....

Anyway my gaming online technology drug study was really hyper activating my mind and I was getting a bright neon yellow spot on my underwear guard so the enzymes stopped that alkaptonuria and strength loss....

The sick orphan children need mental aids because not much more is done then their infectious disease control so I do it so I can learn to addictively feed them for a job...

Amazon breast cut off people so I want to go help the nuns feed the orphans

Well I can't eat a whole bag of bread all the time so I probably will have to use my online game coins for an enzyme supplement....

Enzymes I maybe am somewhat of a latinx then

Diagnosis and Early Detection

The diagnosis of Tyrosinemia Type 1 involves a comprehensive clinical assessment and specialized tests. Early indicators often include failure to thrive and hepatomegaly. Definitive diagnosis typically involves detecting specific tyrosine metabolites and succinylacetone in urine samples. Measuring FAH enzyme activity in liver tissue or conducting molecular genetic testing for FAH gene mutations confirms the diagnosis. Newborn screening programs measuring succinylacetone in blood spots have also proven effective in early detection, facilitating timely intervention.
