Determination of indoxyl sulfate in plasma of patients with renal failure by use of ion-pairing liquid chromatography

LA Stanfel, PF Gulyassy and EA Jarrard

Using our newly developed ion-pairing reversed-phase liquid- chromatographic method for assay of indoxyl sulfate, we measured its concentration in plasma of normal subjects and patients in various degrees of renal failure. Response was linear over the range of 50 to 25 000 pmol of indoxyl sulfate injected into the chromatograph. We demonstrated the specificity of the assay for azotemic plasma by using enzymatic conversion with a sulfatase. For a moderately above-normal indoxyl sulfate concentration in azotemic plasma of 134 mumol/L (29 mg/L), the within-day CV was 1.6%, the day-to-day CV 2.8%. Mean analytical recovery was 101.0% (CV = 2.8%). Over a range of 29 to 192 mg of creatinine per liter of plasma (x), indoxyl sulfate (y) concentration (in mumol/L) was positively correlated (y = 1.30x + 0.43). This method should prove valuable for further study of uremic toxins.
