Abstract Organic acid concentrations were quantified by gas chromatography and the individual acids identified by mass spectrometry in urine specimens from a healthy Turkish pediatric population of ages 2 days to 16 years, subdivided into five age groups. We quantified 69 organic acids (32 major and 37 minor components) and report here the median values and percentiles for each compound, adjusted for creatinine content, for the five groups. Concentrations of most of the organic acids tend to decrease with age but display substantial differences between age groups. This emphasizes the importance of comparing patients' data with age-matched reference data. Correlations between the excretion of organic acids and protein or caloric intake were significant for several compounds.

Abstract We assessed the quantitative performances of a classical method for profiling urinary organic acids: ethyl acetate extraction/oxime-trimethylsilyl derivatization/GC-MS. Twenty-seven acids were quantified on the basis of specific ions in both scan and selected-ion monitoring modes. We found that the tuning of the mass detector severely affects the calibration factors, being critical to achieve quantitative results, and we propose a practical procedure for reproducible tuning. Of seven compounds tested, tropic acid was retained as the internal standard suitable for most of the acids of clinical interest; a second internal standard, 2-ketocaproic acid, was used in quantifying keto-acids. The within-day and total relative standard deviations (CVs), estimated from scan-mode analyses of urine, ranged from 2.6% to 12.7% and from 4.2% to 11.8%, respectively. Curvilinear relationships between analytical response and concentration were observed for most of the acids investigated.

Abstract A gas-chromatographic method for urinary organic acid analysis is described, designed to be used routinely for the diagnosis of organic aciduria. It involves extraction of urine with ethyl acetate, dehydration of extract residues, and trimethylsilylation. Organic acids are identified by using an extensive list of retention indices published in the accompanying paper (this issue). Quantitative values are given for organic acids in urines from 50 ostensibly normal subjects. Typical chromatograms of urinary organic acids from patients with eight well-established organic acidurias are also shown.

Abstract 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.
