What is a Porphobilinogen (PBG) Test in Bangalore ?
The porphobilinogen (PBG) test measures porphobilinogen, a chemical made during heme production. Heme is a vital part of hemoglobin and many enzymes. When heme synthesis is disrupted, PBG can build up and spill into urine. Elevated PBG is a key sign of acute porphyrias, which can cause severe abdominal pain, nerve symptoms, and changes in mood or thinking. Doctors use the test to diagnose or confirm acute attacks. They may test urine during symptoms or as part of a porphyrin panel. Results help guide treatment, identify triggers, and determine whether family members should be tested.

Why Take a Porphobilinogen (PBG) Test in Bangalore ?
Porphobilinogen (PBG) is often ordered as part of an acute porphyria workup or porphyrin panel when someone has severe unexplained abdominal pain, limb or sensory weakness, or sudden psychiatric changes. It helps diagnose acute hepatic porphyrias and monitor response to treatment. Abnormal results can arise from inherited enzyme defects, certain drugs, fasting, alcohol, or liver problems. A family history of porphyria makes this test especially important.
