Urine Porphobilinogen Test

The Urine Porphobilinogen (PBG) Test is a laboratory blood test that measures the level of PBG in the urine. PBG is a chemical that is produced during the synthesis of heme, a component of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. High levels of PBG in the urine can be a sign of several medical conditions, including acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system and can cause abdominal pain, muscle weakness, and seizures. The Urine Porphobilinogen Test can also help diagnose other types of porphyria and monitor the response to treatment.
