Cardiology, 1998 Alkaptonuria is a rare metabolic disease in which homogentisic acid deposits occur in various body tissues. We present a case of alkaptonuria which resulted in aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease due to homogentisic acid ...

Alkaptonuria is characterized by the accumulation of homogentisic acid (HGA), part of which is excreted in the urine but the excess HGA forms a dark brown ochronotic pigment that deposits in the connective tissue (ochronosis), eventually leading to early-onset severe arthropathy.

Orthopedics, 2016
A 50-year-old woman with a chronic polyarthropathy was seen by her orthopedist for long-standing back and shoulder and worsening hip pain. A lateral labral tear and chronic trochanteric bursitis were diagnosed on hip magnetic resonance imaging, which was otherwise unremarkable.

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1958
A case of alkaptonuria with pigmented gums in an Indian child of five and a half years of age is presented. Our aim in presenting this case is to draw attention to this rare inborn metabolic error particularly because the presenting complaints may be almost negligible; to assess properly the significance of a positive reduction test whenever urine is ...

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 2015
AbstractAlkaptonuria (AKU) is an ultra‐rare inborn error of metabolism developed from the lack of homogentisic acid oxidase activity, causing homogentisic acid (HGA) accumulation that produces an HGA‐melanin ochronotic pigment, of hitherto unknown composition. Besides the accumulation of HGA, the potential role and presence of unidentified proteins has

AbstractAlkaptonuria (AKU) is a rare genetic disease that affects the entire joint. Current standard of AKU treatment is palliative and little is known about its physiopathology. Neovascularization is involved in the pathogenesis of systemic inflammatory rheumatic diseases, a family of related disorders that includes AKU.

This case is reported not only for its rarity but also to call attention to the fact that not all urines which give a positive test for sugar with copper solutions are necessarily diabetic, but should be studied more thoroughly before instituting diabetic therapy. REPORT OF CASE History. —F. R., a foreman, aged 56, was referred to me, June 25, 1923,
