-Aminolevulinic Acid and
Porphobilinogen in Urine Under
Varying Conditions
1 University of Minnesota Medical Unit, Northwestern Hospital, Minneapolis, Minn.
55407.
A study was made on the stability of
-aminolevulinic acid and porphobilinogen in
urine. Data are presented showing that both substances can be preserved in the same
sample by adjusting the pH to 6-7 and storing at -20° for periods up to 1 month,
or at 4° for periods up to 2 weeks. As previously shown (1), these conditions are
also satisfactory for preservation of coproporphyrin.
