    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Uremia is characterized by the accumulation of middle molecular substances in serum.
    • Understanding the profile and toxicity of these molecules is crucial for effective clinical management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and apply a multi-step chromatography procedure for profiling middle molecules in uremic serum.
    • To separate and identify individual middle molecular substances for further toxicity assessment.

    Main Methods:

    • A 3-step chromatography approach was utilized, including gel chromatography (Sephadex G-15, Bio-Gel P-4) and reversed-phase chromatography (Nucleosil 5C18).
    • Fractions were systematically isolated and rechromatographed to achieve high-resolution separation.

    Main Results:

    • The procedure successfully separated approximately 100 distinct middle molecule peaks from uremic serum.
    • Specific fractions were identified based on their elution positions in different chromatographic systems.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed chromatography method enables comprehensive profiling of middle molecules in uremia.
    • Structural determination of these separated molecules can clarify their toxicity and guide clinical interventions for substance removal.
