Porphyrins in Urine - HPLC
Easy sample preparation
Stable standards and controls
Assay validated according to IVDR (=> Declaration of Conformity)
Coproporphyrin I
Coproporphyrin III
Heptacarboxyporphyrin
Hexacarboxyporphyrin
Pentacarboxyporphyrin
Uroporphyrin
Clinical relevance
This assay allows the quantitative determination of uroporphyrin, heptacarboxyporphyrin, hexacarboxyporphyrin, pentacarboxyporphyrin, coproporphyrin I and coproporphyrin III in human urine samples.
It is intended to be used for patients in whom the urinary levels of uroporphyrin, heptacarboxyporphyrin, hexacarboxyporphyrin, pentacarboxyporphyrin, coproporphyrin I and coproporphyrin III are of clinical importance, primarily as an aid to diagnosis of suspected acute intermittent porphyria, porphyria variegata, aminolevulinic acid dehydratase deficiency porphyria, hereditary coproporphyria, porphyria cutanea tarda or congenital erythropoietic porphyria and/or for their differential diagnosis.
The assay is also intended to be used as an aid to diagnosis of lead poisoning in patients in whom the urinary levels of above listed analytes are of clinical importance after suspected lead exposure (lead itself cannot be detected with this assay).
Besides, the assay is also intended to be used as an aid to diagnosis of the Dubin-Johnson syndrome in patients in whom the urinary levels of coproporphyrin I and coproporphyrin III are of clinical interest.
Product advantages
• Easy sample preparation
• Stable standards and controls
Assay characteristics
Sample preparation consists of sample stabilisation, addition of the internal standard followed by centrifugation to separate particles that may be present in the urine. An oxidation step is not necessary as the porphyrinogens oxidise spontaneously by air into the fluorescent porphyrins. The internal standard elutes between the analytes thus avoiding analytical variation and inaccuracy as well as allowing a shortening of the chromatographic run time.
Detailed performance evaluation data for this assay can be found in Appendices II and III of the instruction manual.
