Pyroluria (also known as pyrrole disorder and Kryptopyrrole, among other names) is a common chemical imbalance caused by an abnormality in the body’s synthesis of haemoglobin. Mostly seen in women, the disorder can be genetic and/or triggered by environmental factors such as trauma, illness, prolonged stress, ‘leaky gut syndrome’, and the overuse of antibiotics.
Pyroluria is a factor in several emotional and behavioural disorders, and can manifest in a myriad of ways. It will typically first appear as behavioural abnormalities in children, but can continue into adulthood. Brisbane Naturopath offers Kryptopyrrole treatment for patients in Brisbane. With a range of options available, we’ll determine the most appropriate form of treatment to help relieve symptoms of the condition.

How is the Test Performed?
Your Brisbane naturopath will refer you to a lab, where you will be asked to supply a urine sample. The sample will be sent off on dry ice to protect it form heat and light. A specialised lab will evaluate the results. Once we get the results back, we’ll arrange a time for you to return to the clinic to discuss Kryptopyrrole treatment.
