Extractions: Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Alcaptonuria; Homogentisic acid oxidase deficiency; Ochronosis Alkaptonuria is a rare inherited disorder of metabolism characterized by urine which turns black when exposed to air. Another characteristic is the development of arthritis in adulthood. Alkaptonuria is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder. In affected individuals, an amino acid known as tyrosine is not properly metabolized, due to a defect in an enzyme called homogentisic acid oxidase. Because of the defect, homogentisic acid is excreted in the urine and turns a brown color upon exposure to air. This is the result of a dark pigment with an ochre color (earthy red or yellow), which led to the name ochronosis. The bones and cartilage of the body can be brown colored. Infant/child: Adult: Progressive arthritis, especially of the spine

I was so impressed I purchased 7 additional copies for my 5 adult children and 2 of the RNs who conduct my frequent phlebotomies. I'm also relieved that newly diagnosed "Rusties" do not have to go through the agony of research as I did back in 1979 when I was diagnosed as a result of my younger sister's autopsy results. There was scant information available in the medical journals of the period. I recall one occasion spending more than 4 hours in a medical library only to locate a single 2 year old article about Hemochromatosis, which was replete with statements that have since been proved mythical. No one will have to endure that again with the advent of IDI's "Guide".
