Metabolic profiles of urinary organic acids recovered from absorbent filter paper.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We evaluated for reliability and reproducibility a semiquantitative gas-chromatographic assay of organic acids in samples of normal urine recovered from absorbent filter paper. We also evaluated this method for use in diagnosis of some of the more common organic acidurias. Transfer of urine from diapers to absorbent filter paper eases the usual trauma of specimen collection from young children; it also simplifies sample storage and shipment.

A Description of Reference Ranges for Organic Acids in Urine Samples from A Pediatric Population in Iran
Background: Organic acids refer to a family of compounds that are intermediates in a variety of metabolic pathways. Many organic acids are present in urine from clinically normal individuals. Elevated levels of urine organic acids cause to the organic acidurias, disorders in which some metabolic pathways in organic acid metabolism are blocked. The present work identified major and minor urinary...
متن کاملQuantitative metabolic profiling based on gas chromatography.
The quantitative metabolic profiles of volatilizable components of human biological fluids, particularly urinary organic acids, is reviewed, with emphasis on the use of gas-chromatography/mass spectrometer/computer systems. Various definitions of metabolic profiling are considered and techniques for obtaining such profiles are discussed. The role of computer processing of such data is examined,...
متن کاملAmino acid and fatty acid profiles of materials recovered from Prussian carp, Carassius gibelio (Bloch, 1782), using acidic and basic solubilization/ precipitation technique
Isoelectric solubilization /precipitation (ISP) process was used to isolate protein from muscles of Prussian carp, Carassius gibelio (Bloch, 1782). Fish protein and lipid were recovered from whole gutted Prussian carp using acidic and basic isoelectric solubilization/precipitation followed by assaying amino acid and fatty acid profile. Essential amino acids content in acidic and basic pH treatm...
متن کاملClinical applications of urinary organic acids. Part 2. Dysbiosis markers.
Part 1 of this series focused on urinary organic acids as markers of detoxification; part 2 focuses on dysbiosis markers. Intestinal microbial growth is accompanied by the release of products of their metabolism that may be absorbed and excreted in urine. Several organic acids are known to be specific products of bacterial metabolic action on dietary polyphenols or unassimilated amino acids or ...
متن کاملTransient 5-oxoprolinuria and high anion gap metabolic acidosis: clinical and biochemical findings in eleven subjects.
We describe biochemical and clinical features of 11 subjects (ages, 1.2-84 years, nine females and two males) with transient 5-oxoprolinuria (0.6-23.6 mol/mol of creatinine, reference range <0.07). A variety of conditions preceded the onset of acidosis, and all had taken acetaminophen (paracetamol), although in therapeutic amounts in most subjects. Metabolic acidosis was documented in nine subj...
