    This study quantifies free norepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine in urine using advanced chromatography. The method offers precise measurements for these vital catecholamines, crucial for various health assessments.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Clinical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Catecholamines like norepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine play critical roles in physiological processes.
    • Accurate quantification of free catecholamines in biological samples is essential for diagnosing and monitoring various medical conditions.
    • Existing methods for catecholamine analysis may require improvement in terms of sensitivity, specificity, or ease of use.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a robust analytical method for the simultaneous determination of free norepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine in human urine.
    • To establish a reliable quantification technique using reversed-phase ion-pair chromatography with native fluorescence detection.
    • To assess the precision and accuracy of the developed method for clinical and research applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Urine samples were purified using ion-exchange chromatography and concentrated on alumina.
    • Catecholamines were separated using reversed-phase ion-pair chromatography.
    • Quantification was achieved by measuring native fluorescence at specific excitation and emission wavelengths (lambda ex 285 nm, lambda em 305 nm), with dihydroxybenzylamine as the internal standard.

    Main Results:

    • The method demonstrated high precision, with within-day coefficients of variation (CVs) ranging from 1.6% to 5.6%.
    • Between-day CVs were also acceptable, ranging from 6.6% to 9.8%, indicating good reproducibility.
    • The purification and chromatographic separation effectively isolated the target catecholamines for accurate measurement.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed method provides a reliable and precise means for quantifying free norepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine in urine.
    • This technique is suitable for routine clinical analysis and research studies investigating catecholamine metabolism and function.
    • The use of native fluorescence detection offers a sensitive and specific approach for catecholamine quantitation.
