ANALYSIS OF AMINO ACIDS IN BODY FLUID BY LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY (LC-MS)

摘要

This disclosure provides methods for quantifying individual amino acids in various bodily fluids obtained from a human patient. Also provided are reference ranges for normal amino acid levels in the various bodily fluids (e.g., blood plasma, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, and saliva) and for various age groups (e.g., neonates, infants, children, and adults).
