Ordering the Kryptopyrrole 24-Hr Urine Test
Kryptopyrrole 24-Hr Urine Test helps detect elevated levels of kryptopyrroles, which can be linked to mood changes, nutrient imbalances, and certain mental health symptoms. Interestingly, high kryptopyrrole levels may cause the body to lose vitamin B6 and zinc faster than usual, which can affect how you feel and function.
Ordering this test can help you:
- Identify if you are losing vitamin B6 and zinc through urine
- Pinpoint possible links between mood swings and nutrient loss
- Track changes in symptoms like brain fog, irritability, or fatigue
- Support your doctor in making targeted nutrition or supplement plans
- Monitor progress if you are already being treated for pyroluria or related conditions
Who Should Consider Pyrrole Disorder Screening
People who notice ongoing mood swings, trouble focusing, or unexplained tiredness may benefit from this test. For example, someone who has tried different treatments for anxiety or depression but still feels off might find that checking for kryptopyrrole levels reveals a missing piece.
Ordering this test may also be helpful if you:
- Have a family history of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or autism
- Experience frequent headaches or digestive problems without a clear cause
- Notice skin problems, such as stretch marks or acne, that don’t improve with usual care
- Struggle with sleep issues or insomnia that don’t respond to common solutions
- Have joint pain that seems to flare up with stress or emotional changes
Testing for kryptopyrroles can reveal if your body is losing key nutrients, which may explain symptoms that haven’t improved with other treatments. Delaying this test could mean missing the chance to address nutrient loss early, which may allow symptoms to continue or worsen.

No fasting is needed for this test, but you will need to collect all urine over a 24-hour period. Make sure to carefully follow any instructions your doctor or healthcare professional gives you to ensure your sample is collected correctly and your results are as useful as possible.
