Evaluation of a high-performance liquid chromatography method for urinary oxalate determination and investigation regarding the pediatric reference interval of spot urinary oxalate to creatinine ratio for screening of primary hyperoxaluria.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Urinary oxalate can provide important clues for the screening and monitoring of children with primary hyperoxaluria (PH), which is a potentially life-threatening condition. However, little effort has been devoted to improve the oxalate assay in recent years. We have proposed a reliable and cost-effective high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for urinary oxalate determination.

Methods

Urine specimens were centrifuged after one-step derivatization, and the supernatants were subjected to HPLC analysis.

Results

The method was validated with consistent linearity from 0.0625 to 2.0 mmol/L with coefficients of variation ≤7.73%, good recovery, low carryover, satisfactory sample stability, and analytical specificity. The lower limit of quantification and the limit of detection were 0.03130 and 0.0156 mmol/L, respectively. Imprecision values were ≤2.92% and ≤16.6% for externally and internally produced controls, respectively. The pediatric reference interval of spot urinary oxalate to creatinine ratios was established together with its application in screening of PH in patients with renal diseases, revealing its successful deployment in our laboratory.

Conclusions

This reliable HPLC method could serve as a significant tool to determine urinary oxalate levels for screening and monitoring of children with PH in routine clinical laboratories.

Determination of reference interval (RI) of spot urinary oxalate to creatinine ratio in children of pakistani origin under six years of age: A cross-sectional study.

Project description:BackgroundThe gold standard screening method of hyperoxaluria in children is using 24-hour urine collection. Urine collection may be cumbersome and challenging for children. Reference intervals (RI) of oxalate for the Pakistani population are not readily available. Therefore we aimed to determine the oxalate to creatinine ratio (Ox: Cr) for Pakistani children <6 years of age.Materials and methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted at Aga Khan University from June 2018 to October 2019. Random urine samples from apparently healthy children < 6 years were collected and stored at -30°C until analysis after adding 6M HCl. Oxalate was measured on Micro lab 300 using a kit based on oxalate oxidase principle, while creatinine was measured by kinetic Jaffe reaction. Data was analyzed by EP evaluator and SPSS 23. Ox: Cr ratio was calculated and reported with 90% confidence interval (CI) and interquartile range (IQR).ResultsThe mean age of study subjects (n=120) was 29 ±22.3 months with an M: F ratio of 1:1. Children of various ethnicities were included from all over Karachi. The majority of the subjects were Urdu speaking (37.5%). Median Ox: Cr was 0.13(0.10). No significant difference was noted in the median Ox: Cr ratio between various ethnicities (p>0.05). It was significantly different in group I to V which was 0.25 (IQR: 0.06), 0.19 (IQR: 0.11), 0.15 (IQR: 0.04), 0.11 (IQR: 0.06) and 0.08 (IQR: 0.04) respectively (pvalue <0.001).ConclusionThe established RIs of Ox: Cr ratio was 0.05-0.34 (90% CI). Ox: Cr ratio showed a declining trend with age. Large scale reference interval studies are encouraged, taking diet and age into consideration.

Diagnostic accuracy of urinary spot protein:creatinine ratio for proteinuria in hypertensive pregnant women: systematic review.

Project description:OBJECTIVE: To review the spot protein:creatinine ratio and albumin:creatinine ratio as diagnostic tests for significant proteinuria in hypertensive pregnant women. DESIGN: Systematic review. DATA SOURCES: Medline and Embase, the Cochrane Library, reference lists, and experts. Review methods Literature search (1980-2007) for articles of the spot protein:creatinine ratio or albumin:creatinine ratio in hypertensive pregnancy, with 24 hour proteinuria as the comparator. RESULTS: 13 studies concerned the spot protein:creatinine ratio (1214 women with primarily gestational hypertension). Nine studies reported sensitivity and specificity for eight cut-off points, median 24 mg/mmol (range 17-57 mg/mmol; 0.15-0.50 mg/mg). Laboratory assays were not well described. Diagnostic test characteristics were recalculated for a cut-off point of 30 mg/mmol. No significant heterogeneity in cut-off points was found between studies over a range of proteinuria. Pooled values gave a sensitivity of 83.6% (95% confidence interval 77.5% to 89.7%), specificity of 76.3% (72.6% to 80.0%), positive likelihood ratio of 3.53 (2.83 to 4.49), and negative likelihood ratio of 0.21 (0.13 to 0.31) (nine studies, 1003 women). Two studies of the spot albumin:creatinine ratio (225 women) found optimal cut-off points of 2 mg/mmol for proteinuria of 0.3 g/day or more and 27 mg/mmol for albuminuria. CONCLUSION: The spot protein:creatinine ratio is a reasonable "rule-out" test for detecting proteinuria of 0.3 g/day or more in hypertensive pregnancy. Information on use of the albumin:creatinine ratio in these women is insufficient.

Proposed Imprecision Quality Goals for Urinary Albumin/Creatinine Ratio.

Project description:BACKGROUNDThe urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) is an important indicator of albuminuria. We aimed to estimate ACR uncertainty and its impact on test results and proposed imprecision quality goals based on the estimated uncertainty.METHODSThe combined ACR uncertainty was calculated using the individual uncertainties of urinary albumin and creatinine. ACR confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated based on the expanded uncertainty. When the CI contained the ACR category boundary (30 or 300 mg/g), the cases were considered ambiguous. Quality goals for ACR were suggested using the number of ambiguous cases among actual patient results.RESULTSThe number of ambiguous cases resulting from the combined ACR uncertainty was higher than expected based on biological variation (BV) quality goals. When the ACR met BV quality specifications, we estimated that 4.8-15.5% of the results may have been misclassified. To minimize the number of ambiguous results, the minimum, desirable, and optimum quality goals were set at 34.0%, 18.0%, and 4.5%, respectively.CONCLUSIONSWe expressed ACR uncertainty using the uncertainties of urinary albumin and creatinine and assessed the impact of this combined uncertainty on the test results. Subsequently, we proposed imprecision quality goals for ACR based on ambiguous results.

Urinary monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 associated with calcium oxalate crystallization in patients with primary hyperoxaluria.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Patients with primary hyperoxaluria (PH) often develop kidney stones and chronic kidney disease. Noninvasive urine markers reflective of active kidney injury could be useful to gauge the effectiveness of ongoing treatments. METHODS:A panel of biomarkers that reflect different nephron sites and potential mechanisms of injury (clusterin, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), 8-isoprostane (8IP), monocyte-chemoattractant protein 1(MCP-1), liver-type fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP), heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP), and osteopontin (OPN)) were measured in 114 urine specimens from 30 PH patients over multiple visits. Generalized estimating equations were used to assess associations between biomarkers and 24?h urine excretions, calculated proximal tubular oxalate concentration (PTOx), and eGFR. RESULTS:Mean (±SD) age at first visit was 19.5?±?16.6?years with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 68.4?±?21.0?ml/min/1.73m2. After adjustment for age, sex, and eGFR, a higher urine MCP-1 concentration and MCP-1/creatinine ratio was positively associated with CaOx supersaturation (SS). Higher urine NGAL and NGAL/creatinine as well as OPN and OPN/creatinine were associated with higher eGFR. 8IP was negatively associated with PTOx and urinary Ox, but positively associated with CaOx SS. CONCLUSION:In PH patients greater urine MCP-1 and 8IP excretion might reflect ongoing collecting tubule crystallization, while greater NGAL and OPN excretion may reflect preservation of kidney mass and function. CaOx crystals, rather than oxalate ion may mediate oxidative stress in hyperoxaluric conditions. Further studies are warranted to determine whether urine MCP-1 excretion predicts long term outcome or is altered in response to treatment.

Estimating 24-h urinary sodium/potassium ratio from casual ('spot') urinary sodium/potassium ratio: the INTERSALT Study.

Project description:BackgroundAssociation between casual and 24-h urinary sodium-to-potassium (Na/K) ratio is well recognized, although it has not been validated in diverse demographic groups. Our aim was to assess utility across and within populations of casual urine to estimate 24-h urinary Na/K ratio using data from the INTERSALT Study.MethodsThe INTERSALT Study collected cross-sectional standardized data on casual urinary sodium and potassium and also on timed 24-h urinary sodium and potassium for 10 065 individuals from 52 population samples in 32 countries (1985-87). Pearson correlation coefficients and agreement were computed for Na/K ratio of casual urine against 24-h urinary Na/K ratio both at population and individual levels.ResultsPearson correlation coefficients relating means of 24-h urine and casual urine Na/K ratio were r = 0.96 and r = 0.69 in analyses across populations and individuals, respectively. Correlations of casual urine Na/creatinine and K/creatinine ratios with 24-h urinary Na and K excretion, respectively, were lower than correlation of casual and 24-h urinary Na/K ratio in analyses across populations and individuals. The bias estimate with the Bland-Altman method, defined as the difference between Na/K ratio of 24-h urine and casual urine, was approximately 0.4 across both populations and individuals. Spread around, the mean bias was higher for individuals than populations.ConclusionWith appropriate bias correction, casual urine Na/K ratio may be a useful, low-burden alternative method to 24-h urine for estimation of population urinary Na/K ratio. It may also be applicable for assessment of the urinary Na/K ratio of individuals, with use of repeated measurements to reduce measurement error and increase precision.

Anthropometry-based 24-h urinary creatinine excretion reference for Chinese children.

Project description:To establish 24-h urinary creatinine excretion reference ranges based on anthropometry in healthy Chinese children, a cross-sectional survey was conducted using twice-sampled 24-h urine and anthropometric variables. Age- and sex-specific 24-h creatinine excretion reference ranges (crude and related to individual anthropometric variables) were derived. During October 2013 and May 2014, urine samples were collected. Anthropometric variables were measured in the first survey. Data of 710 children (377 boys and 333 girls) aged 8-13 years who completed the study were analyzed. No significant difference was observed in 24-h urine volumes between the two samples (median [interquartile range): 855.0 [600.0-1272.0) mL vs. 900.0 [660.0-1220.0) mL, P = 0.277). The mean 24-h urine creatinine excretion was regarded as representative of absolute daily creatinine excretion in children. Sex-specific, body-weight-adjusted creatinine excretion reference values were 15.3 mg/kg/day (0.1353 mmol/kg/day) for boys and 14.3 mg/kg/day (0.1264 mmol/kg/day) for girls. Differences were significant between boys and girls within the same age group but not across different age groups within the same sex. Ideal 24-h creatinine excretion values for height were derived for potential determination of the creatinine height index. These data can serve as reference ranges to calculate ratios of analyte to creatinine. The creatinine height index can be used to assess somatic protein status.

An engineered bacterial therapeutic lowers urinary oxalate in preclinical models and in silico simulations of enteric hyperoxaluria

Project description:Enteric Hyperoxaluria (EH) is a metabolic disease caused by excessive absorption of dietary oxalate leading to the formation of chronic kidney stones and kidney failure. There are no approved pharmaceutical treatments for EH. SYNB8802 is an engineered bacterial therapeutic designed to consume oxalate in the gut and lower urinary oxalate as a potential treatment for EH. Oral administration of SYNB8802 leads to significantly decreased urinary oxalate excretion in healthy mice and non-human primates, demonstrating the strain's ability to consume oxalate in vivo. A mathematical modeling framework was constructed that combines in vitro and in vivo preclinical data to predict the effects of SYNB8802 administration on urinary oxalate excretion in humans. Simulations of SYNB8802 administration predict a clinically meaningful lowering of urinary oxalate excretion in healthy volunteers and EH patients. Together, these findings suggest that SYNB8802 is a promising treatment for EH.

Hydroxyproline Metabolism and Oxalate Synthesis in Primary Hyperoxaluria.

Project description:Background Endogenous oxalate synthesis contributes to calcium oxalate stone disease and is markedly increased in the inherited primary hyperoxaluria (PH) disorders. The incomplete knowledge regarding oxalate synthesis complicates discovery of new treatments. Hydroxyproline (Hyp) metabolism results in the formation of oxalate and glycolate. However, the relative contribution of Hyp metabolism to endogenous oxalate and glycolate synthesis is not known.Methods To define this contribution, we performed primed, continuous, intravenous infusions of the stable isotope [15N,13C5]-Hyp in nine healthy subjects and 19 individuals with PH and quantified the levels of urinary 13C2-oxalate and 13C2-glycolate formed using ion chromatography coupled to mass detection.Results The total urinary oxalate-to-creatinine ratio during the infusion was 73.1, 70.8, 47.0, and 10.6 mg oxalate/g creatinine in subjects with PH1, PH2, and PH3 and controls, respectively. Hyp metabolism accounted for 12.8, 32.9, and 14.8 mg oxalate/g creatinine in subjects with PH1, PH2, and PH3, respectively, compared with 1.6 mg oxalate/g creatinine in controls. The contribution of Hyp to urinary oxalate was 15% in controls and 18%, 47%, and 33% in subjects with PH1, PH2, and PH3, respectively. The contribution of Hyp to urinary glycolate was 57% in controls, 30% in subjects with PH1, and <13% in subjects with PH2 or PH3.Conclusions Hyp metabolism differs among PH types and is a major source of oxalate synthesis in individuals with PH2 and PH3. In patients with PH1, who have the highest urinary excretion of oxalate, the major sources of oxalate remain to be identified.

Diagnostic Performances of Urinary Methylmalonic Acid/Creatinine Ratio in Vitamin B12 Deficiency.

Project description:Sole measurement of plasma vitamin B12 is no longer enough to identify vitamin B12 (B12) deficiency. When plasma vitamin B12 is in the low-normal range, especially between 201 and 350 ng/L, B12 deficiency should be assessed by measurements of plasma homocysteine and/or plasma methylmalonic acid (MMA). However, these biomarkers also accumulate during renal impairment, leading to a decreased specificity for B12 deficiency. In such cases, urinary methylmalonic acid/creatinine ratio (uMMA/C) could be of interest, due to the stable urinary excretion of MMA. The objectives were to evaluate the influence of renal impairment on uMMA/C compared to plasma homocysteine and plasma methylmalonic acid, and to determine the diagnostic performances of uMMA/C in the diagnosis of B12 deficiency. We prospectively studied 127 patients with a plasma B12 between 201 and 350 ng/L. We noticed that uMMA/C was not dependent on renal function (p = 0.34), contrary to plasma homocysteine and plasma methylmalonic acid. uMMA/C showed a perspective diagnostic performance (AUC 0.71 [95% CI: 0.62-0.80]) and the threshold of 1.45 umol/mmol presented a high degree of specificity (87.9% [95% CI: 72.0-98.9]). In conclusion, uMMA/C is a promising biomarker to assess vitamin B12 status in doubtful cases, notably during renal impairment.

Mendelian Randomization Analysis Reveals a Causal Effect of Urinary Sodium/Urinary Creatinine Ratio on Kidney Function in Europeans.

Project description:Salt restriction was recommended in clinical practice guideline for chronic kidney disease (CKD) treatment, but its effect on kidney outcomes remains conflicting. We aimed to test the causal effect of salt intake, using estimated 24-h sodium excretion from spot urinary sodium/urinary creatinine (UNa/UCr) ratio as a surrogate, on renal function using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR). Genetic instruments for UNa/UCr were derived from a recent genome-wide association study of 218,450 European-descent individuals in the UK Biobank. Kidney outcomes were creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcrea) (N = 567,460) and CKD (eGFRcrea < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, N cases = 41,395, N controls = 439,303) from the CKDGen consortium. Cystatin C-based eGFR (eGFRcys) and eGFRcrea single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were used for sensitivity analyses. MR revealed a causal effect of UNa/UCr on higher eGFRcrea [? = 0.14, unit change in log ml/min/1.73 m2 per UNa/UCr ratio; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.07 - 0.20, P = 2.15 × 10-5] and a protective effect against CKD risk (odds ratio = 0.24, 95% CI = 0.14 to 0.41, P = 1.20 × 10-7). The MR findings were confirmed by MR-Egger regression, weighted median MR, and mode estimate MR, with less evidence of existence of horizontal pleiotropy. Consistent positive causal effect of UNa/UCr on eGFRcys was also detected. On the other hand, bidirectional MR suggested inconclusive results of CKD, eGFRcrea, eGFRcrea (BUN associated), and eGFRcys on UNa/UCr. The average 24-h sodium excretion was estimated to be approximately 2.6 g per day for women and 3.7 g per day for men. This study provides evidence that sodium excretion, well above the recommendation of <2 g per day of sodium intake, might not have a harmful effect on kidney function. Clinical trials are warranted to evaluate the sodium restriction target on kidney function.
