Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I ve recently been diagnosed by a GP and standard pathology testing that I have a condition called Pyroluira - elevated Hydroxyhemopyrrolin-2-one (HPL) in the urine. Everything I have read online about this condition is in the alternative med field, there seems to be no science behind it at all apart from a few studies done in the 70 s that have since been debunked - and it sounds like an alarming condition to have. But there is a lot of information on it in the integrative medicine area - Is this a real condition?? Now spending $$$ on supplements and feeling worse than ever.
The issue with Pyroluria indicate possible problem with glomerular filtration process of the kidneys. However, if you provide me all details of history and supportive documents in scanned copy in following up conversation, it would be best possible to guide further accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
