Pyroluria
Formerly known as: Haemopyrrollactamuria; Hemopyrrollactamuria; Malvaria; Pyrrole Disorder; Pyrolleuria; Pyrroluria
Description
Pyroluria is a genetically-based ailment involving abnormal synthesis/metabolism of Hemoglobin. Pyroluria patients produce excessive amounts of the Hemoglobin metabolite named Hemepyrrole (also known as Hydroxyhemoppyrolin-2-one; HPL; Kryptopyrrole, KP; OHHPL; or Mauve Factor). Hemepyrrole has no known function in the human body. Hemepyrrole is excreted via the Urine.
These Substances may Alleviate Pyroluria
Lipids
Pyroluria patients may have abnormally low Arachidonic Acid levels.
Vitamins
Zinc may be useful for Pyroluria patients. The excessive amounts of Hemepyrrole produced by Pyroluria patients binds to Zinc, causing it to become unavailable for its normal functions. Zinc bound to Hemepyrrole is excreted from the body via the Urine. [1]
