Rapid porphyrin screening of urine, stool, and blood.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Simplified chemical screening tests and an apparatus to facilitate their performance have been developed for porphyrins. The tests are applicable to urine, stool, and blood. The procedures for different specimens are essentially identical and can be performed in a few minutes with a minimum of reagents and apparatus. Results obtained are usually sufficiently definitive to permit differential diagnoses of porphyrias and porphyrinurias without resort to separation or quantitation of the individual porphyrins.

Biochemical differentiation of the porphyrias.
OBJECTIVES To differentiate the porphyrias by clinical and biochemical methods. DESIGN AND METHODS We describe levels of blood, urine, and fecal porphyrins and their precursors in the porphyrias and present an algorithm for their biochemical differentiation. Diagnoses were established using clinical and biochemical data. Porphyrin analyses were performed by high performance liquid chromatogra...

متن کاملQuantitative fluorometric screening test for fecal porphyrins.
We describe a fluorometric method for screening and quantifying porphyrins in stool. A small sample of stool is extracted with concentrated HCI and is diluted 200-fold in 3 mol/L HCI before analysis. An excitation scan is done from 350 to 450 nm, monitoring emission at 603 nm. Total porphyrin is estimated at the isosbestic point for coproporphyrin and protoporphyrin (402.5 nm). Monitoring emiss...

Background: Cost effectiveness, the ratio of relative costs of a program to its desired outcomes, is one of the basic issues in various screening programs performed to detect opium abuse. This study aimed to find the cost-effectiveness of opiates abuse screening through urine analysis. Methods: A total number of 64698 individuals were selected and divided into to five distinct groups based on t...
متن کاملPorphyrins and Chlorins from a Congenital Porphyria Patient.
Analysis of porphyrins from the urine, blood, and feces of a congenital porphyria patient showed coproand uroporphyrins from the blood contained more than 95% of the Type I isomer, and those from stool and urine, about 90%. The intermediate hepta-, hexaand pentacarboxylic porphyrins from the urine contained 70% or less of the Type I isomer. The results are discussed and compared with those in p...
