Understanding Pyroluria
What’s in a name?
The mauve factor (Malvaria), also known as hydroxyhemopyrrolin-2-one (HPL), kryptopyrrole and urinary pyrrole, was first reported in 1961. Pyroluria is a blood disorder that affects the synthesis and metabolism of the oxygen carrying component of red blood cells, haemoglobin. All cells release and produce wastes as part of normal function. The by-product of haemoglobin is the metabolite called hydroxyhemopyrrolin-2-one (HPL) also known as Pyrrole. In people with pyroluria, these by-products or HPL accumulate in the body and if they are not cleared they can bind to other essential nutrients causing deficiencies. HPL binds to vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), zinc reducing the levels of these vitamins in the body.
