Abstract

A method was developed for the simultaneous determination of trimethylamine N-oxide, choline, and betaine in human plasma and urine with a total run time of 5 minutes.

  • The method demonstrated excellent linearity for analytes in plasma (0.010-5.00μg/mL) and urine (1.00-150μg/mL).
  • Intra- and inter-day accuracy and precision for all quality controls were within ±10%.
  • High recovery rates were achieved for all analytes.
  • The method was applied in a pilot study examining markers of atherosclerosis in kidney transplant patients.
