- 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. 271atch the reasons with the situations indicated below: A) The epiglottis failed to close the trachea B) Peristaltic movement in the esophagus become slow C) Fats, proteins and cellulose are the hardest to digest D) Lower esophageal sphincter did not contract E) Undigested food stays too long in the large intestine 16.
