Alkaptonuria (AKU) is a devasting disease. Since 2003, the AKU Society has been dedicated to stopping it in its tracks. This video explores how far we have come by hearing from the inspirational people behind our success.
Thanks to nitisinone, AKU is no longer a life sentence of pain and suffering. we now have an effective treatment that will stop those born with AKU from growing up with the debilitating symptoms. Now we must find a cure.
Thank you to all the patients, academics, clinicians and staff who have made this a reality.

I was told for 20 years my spine and hip pain was stress. I had a total hip replacement at age of 42…3 years later I was finally diagnosed with AKU. Thank you for this video. I was finally diagnosed with this by accident when I was doing a 24 hour urine test. I had a kidney stone at the time and uti and was put in the hospital in the middle of my home test. When I returned home 3 days later after surgery to remove stone, the urine was black. I had about 30 stones up to that point and a total him replacement by the age of 42 and no one could figure out many other condition I have. Theres not alot drs can do about the condition as I understand, but it does give me answers to why my joints are breaking down and have DJD as such a young age. Its starting to get worse as my shoulder joints along with my knee joints were torn this year and required surgery. Now I am passing several stone and have an obstruction. I have now been diagnosed disabled from having gout, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis...This video helps me understand more about my condition as most drs know nothing about it.

Hi! Where are you come from? Itˋ s not right, that, you have to avoid meat at all. But you should not take more than 68gramms of protein daily. Is it possible for you to get that pill Nitisinone?
