Simultaneous analysis of urinary metabolites for preliminary identification of primary hyperoxaluria.
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry 2016 July
BACKGROUND: The primary hyperoxalurias are inherited disorders of glyoxylate metabolism, which cause over-production of oxalate leading to urolithiasis and subsequent renal failure. Other metabolites may be produced in excess in the different forms of PH: glycolate in PH1, glycerate in PH2 and 4-hydroxy-2-oxoglutarate and 2,4-dihydroxyglutarate in PH3. The aim of this study was to set up and validate a method for the simultaneous analysis of these metabolites in urine and to evaluate its use for preliminary identification of primary hyperoxaluria prior to definitive diagnosis by genetic testing.
METHODS: Urine samples were derivitized by methoximation and silylation and extracted into organic solvent prior to analysis by gas chromatography mass spectrometry.
RESULTS: Recovery of the analytes spiked into urine ranged from 91 to 103% and total analytical imprecision ranged from 3.0 to 13.6%. 4-Hydroxy-2-oxoglutarate was unstable in urine at room temperature, and preservation by acidification was required. Mean urinary glycolate, glycerate and 4-hydroxy-2-oxoglutarate or 2,4-dihydroxyglutarate (expressed as a ratio to creatinine) were significantly higher in patients with PH1, PH2 and PH3, respectively. Low 4-hydroxy-2-oxoglutarate was observed in some patients with PH3, probably due to the instability of this analyte, but all PH3 patients had elevated 2,4-dihydroxyglutarate. During five months of routine service, seven cases of PH were identified by this method and subsequently confirmed by gene sequencing including two with novel mutations in HOGA1.
CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms that the method is useful in aiding the diagnosis of primary hyperoxaluria and can direct genetic testing.
