Abstract

Chronic renal failure (CRF) is a major challenge for the public healthcare problem. A novel UPLC Q-TOF/MS method with MSE data collection mode was developed as a very effective biochemical analytical tool for precise identification of important biomarkers in the adenine-induced CRF rats. Nine endogenous metabolites were identified by using metabonomic method combined with multivariate data analysis, the accurate mass, isotopic pattern, MSE fragments information and MassLynx i-FIT algorithm. The identified metabolites indicated the perturbations of bile acid and phospholipid metabolism are related to CRF rats. This work shows that metabonomics method is a valuable tool in CRF mechanism study.
