Overview

The Homogentisic Acid (Urine) test is used to detect elevated levels of homogentisic acid, primarily aiding in diagnosing alkaptonuria, a rare metabolic disorder. This acid accumulates when there is a deficiency of the enzyme homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase. Higher levels may cause dark pigmentation in urine and can lead to joint and connective tissue issues.
