Homogentisic acid in the urine is oxidized to a melanin-like product, which makes urine gradually turn dark. Ochronosis refers to the bluish-black pigmentation of connective tissue that may ensue, and ochronotic arthropathy results from the pigmented deposits in the joints of the appendicular and axial skeleton. Ochronotic arthropathy The most characteristic manifestations of ochronotic arthropathy are widespread discal calcification, with loss of intervertebral disc height, and a distinctive arthropathy of axial and extra-axial joints (Table 1). Initial clinical manifestations may be seen in the hips, knees, and shoulders, with pain and limitation of motion. Joint effusions result from fragmentation of friable cartilage, with subsequent irritation of the synovial membrane. Stiffness and low back pain, obliteration of the normal lumbar curve, thoracic kyphosis, and restriction of motion are spinal manifestations of the disease. Elderly persons with alkaptonuria may be completely disabled. Radiography reveals discal calcification, which is the most characteristic abnormality of the spine. The calcification consists of apatite crystals and occurs predominantly in the inner fibers of the anulus fibrosus. Narrowing of the intervertebral disc space and vacuum phenomenon are also characteristic manifestations of alkaptonuria (

Huseyin MD; Hacisalihoglu, Selim MD; Seyithanoglu, M. Hakan MD Abstract: Study Design. Two cases of lumbar disc herniation with alkaptonuria are presented. Objectives. To present a probable clinical course of lumbar disc herniation with alkaptonuria, a rare metabolic disease. Summary of Background Data. Although lumbar disc disease is a common clinical occurrence in alkaptonuria, lumbar disc surgery is needed rarely in this disease. A patient with alkaptonuria without ochronotic signs is also rarely seen. Methods. The cause, clinical presentation, diagnostic techniques and treatment of alkaptonuria with lumbar disc disease are reviewed. Results. The symptoms of the patients disappeared after surgery, and there were no symptoms on follow-up. Conclusion. Alkaptonuria frequently occurs in association with lumbar disc disease. In patients with no other signs of alkaptonuria or ochronosis, early detection of the disease is important to treat involvement of other systems (e.g., cardiovascular and urinary).

Test Alkaptonuria Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Alternate Names Alcaptonuria; Homogentisic acid oxidase deficiency; Ochronosis Definition 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. Causes and Risk 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. Symptoms Infant/child: Family history of alkaptonuria Urine in diaper may darken after several hours (can become almost black) Adult: Progressive arthritis, especially of the spine

Zespó³ Williamsa ALKAPTONURIA document.write("" + day + month); document.write(myweekday + ", " + year + ""); ALKAPTONURIA - jest chorob± dziedzicz±c± siê autosomalnie recesywnie i wystêpuje z czêstotliwo¶ci± ok. 1 na 1 000 000 osób, nieco czê¶ciej u mê¿czyzn ni¿ u kobiet. Wyst±pienie tej choroby jest zwi±zane z brakiem aktywno¶ci oksydazy homogentyzynowej (HGAO) w w±trobie i nerkach. Enzym ten bierze udzia³ w przemianie fenyloalaniny i tyrozyny, przekszta³caj±c powsta³y z tyrozyny kwas homogentyzynowy (dawniej zwany alkaptonem) w kwas maleiloacetooctowy. W wyniku braku aktywno¶ci tego enzymu dochodzi do kumulowania kwasy homegentyzynowego w organizmie. Gen koduj±cy oksydazê kwasu homogentyzynowego zlokalizowany jest na d³ugim ramieniu chromosomu 3 (3q21). Alkaptonuria mo¿e dotkn±æ wielu uk³adów w naszym organizmie np: Uk³ad kostny - najczê¶ciej s± zajête kolana, ramiona i biodra; czêsto dochodzi do artropati (zwyrodnienia stawów).
