    Abstract

    The clinical and biochemical features of five cases of alcaptonuria were reported. The concentration of homogentisic acid was determined in urine and also in plasma using a rapid, sensitive and specific HPLC method. In all five cases, the concentrations of homogentisic acid were elevated in urine rising up to 46.5 mmol/24 h. In plasma, homogentisic acid levels ranged from 33 to 38 mumols/l. In healthy individuals, homogentisic acid was not detectable in plasma and urine. The method described represents a very useful and suitable analytical tool for the diagnosis of alcaptonuria.
