Alkaptonuria (black urine disease) is a rare inherited genetic disorder associated with a defective gene on chromosome 3. Sufferers' bodies have difficulty breaking down protein, causing discoloration of their urine and eventually leading to joint damage and mobility issues.
In this video we visit the National AKU centre at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital where research is being carried out to help understand and develop new treatments for this disease.

Why Dr. L Ranganath's name was not displayed in the video? Let me guess.... racism may be... He is the chairman of National Alkaptonuria Centre.

No. It is displayed in the video, he is thanked in the credits. As with Paul he introduces himself, so we didn't include additional name titles.

تیزابیت ہونے کی صورت میں پپیتا، آم، کیلے، بکری کا دودھ، گاجر، کدو زیادہ سے زیادہ اور چھوٹا گوشت کھائیے۔ ان شاء اللہ شفا ہوگی۔
