Background
Urinary indican serves as a vital biomarker for intestinal toxemia and protein maldigestion. It originates from bacterial breakdown of dietary tryptophan, reflecting the balance between host enzymatic digestion and microbial putrefaction.
Pathways
In the gut, bacteria convert tryptophan into indole, which is absorbed and sulfated in the liver. This metabolic pathway culminates in the renal excretion of indoxyl sulfate (indican) for biological monitoring.
