Liquid chromatographic screening of diuretics in urine.
Journal of Chromatography 1987 April 11
We describe a liquid chromatographic screening procedure for the detection, in urine, of twelve of the fifteen potassium-depleting diuretics available in Australia. A 2-ml urine sample was acidified with NaH2PO4 (pH 4.1) and extracted with 4 ml ethyl acetate. The sample was cleaned up further by washing with 5 ml Na2HPO4 (pH 7.5). The ethyl acetate was then evaporated to dryness, the residue reconstituted in 100 microliters mobile phase and 5 microliter were injected onto a Merck LiChrosorb RP-18 (5 microns) column. The ultraviolet absorbance of the eluent was monitored at 271 nm for 10 min. The screen was evaluated by giving each of thirty volunteers the lowest recommended dose of one of the diuretics in the study and obtaining urine samples 4, 8 and 24 h after having taken the dose. Twelve diuretics, chlorothiazide, hydrochlorothiazide, quinethazone, chlorthalidone, methyclothiazide, clopamide, frusemide, metolazone, mefruside, bendrofluazide, cyclopenthiazide and bumetanide, were all detectable up to 24 h after a dose. We therefore conclude that the screen would be reliable for the detection of these diuretics in urine.
