- What explains the observation that some forms of porphyria are associated with jaundice while others are not? Some porphyrias, but not all, are due to defects in heme metabolizing enzymes that cause a buildup of bilirubin, which causes jaundice. Some porphyrias, but not all, are due to defects in heme metabolizing enzymes that increase urobilin, which is yellow and concentrated in urine. Some porphyrias, but not all, are due to defects in ABO blood type enzymes that cause a buildup of bilirubin, which causes jaundice. Some porphyrias, but not all, are due to defects in heme metabolizing enzymes that cause a buildup of biliverdin, which is green in color. 271arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT true about strep throat?(a) It is caused by group A β-hemolytic Streptococcuspyogenes.
