Abstract
Objectives

An increased urinary oxalate and reduced urinary citrate are considered major risk factors in the formation of calcium oxalate kidney stones. In this work, an HPLC–MS method is presented for the simultaneous measurement of oxalate and citrate in urine.

Methods

Sample preparation was carried out using a liquid–liquid extraction with ethyl acetate. Chromatographic separation was performed in a C18 column by gradient elution with methanol and 1M formate buffer at 35°C. Citrate and oxalate were monitored on a single-quadrupole MS system.

Results

The method was linear in the concentration range of 0.5mg/L to 450mg/L for oxalate and from 2.5mg/L to 950mg/L for citrate. The Lower Limit of Measurement was 0.56mg/L for oxalate and 2.5mg/L for citrate. The within-day imprecision was 6% for oxalate and 3% for citrate, and the between day imprecision was lower than 15% for both analytes. LC–MS method was compared with capillary electrophoresis and it was shown that both methods were interchangeable to measure oxalate, but not citrate.

Conclusions

HPLC–MS method is a good approach to measure oxalate and citrate in 24-hour urine, and it is applicable in clinical routine for patients with recurrent stone formation.

Resumen
Objetivos

La hiperoxaluria e hipocitraturia están consideradas el principal factor de riesgo en la formación de cálculos renales de oxalato cálcico. En este trabajo se ha desarrollado un método de HPLC-MS para la medida simultánea de oxalato y citrato en orina.

Métodos

La preparación de muestras se realizó por una extracción líquido-líquido con etilacetato. La separación cromatográfica se llevó a cabo en una columna C-18 a 35°C con un gradiente de elución con metanol y ácido fórmico 1M. El citrato y el oxalato se monitorizaron mediante espectrometría de masas con un cuadrupolo simple.

Resultados

El método fue lineal para el oxalato en el rango de concentración de 0,5 a 450mg/l y para el citrato de 2,5 a 950mg/l. El límite menor de intervalo de medida fue de 0,56mg/l para el oxalato y de 2,5mg/l para el citrato. La imprecisión intradía fue del 6% para el oxalato y del 3% para el citrato, y la interdía fue inferior al 15% para ambos analitos. El método de LC-MS desarrollado se comparó con un método de electroforesis capilar y se demostró que ambos eran intercambiables para el oxalato, pero no para el citrato.

Conclusiones

El método de HPLC-MS desarrollado constituye una buena aproximación para medir oxalato y citrato en orina de 24 horas y es aplicable en la rutina clínica para pacientes con riesgo de formación de cálculos renales.
