Dear All,
65 years old patient, his normal yellow looking urine
turned to dark-black colour on standing at room
temperature. The questions are:
1- Alkaptonuria, could be the only possible cause??
2- Alkaptonuria, is it likely to be at this age??
3- What is the minimum time required for the
homogentisic acid to turn the urine to dark colour??
4- Do we need to confirm the diagnosis at this stage
or what?? or what you recommend at this stage.
Thank you for your comment
