Abstract:
A method for determining in a sample, by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, the presence, absence, or amount of one or more or a plurality of analytes is described. The method comprises subjecting the sample to an ionization source under conditions suitable to produce one or more ions detectable by mass spectrometry from each of the one or more of the analytes; measuring, by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, the amount of the one or more ions from each of the one or more analytes; and using the measured amount of the one or more ions to determine the presence, absence, or amount of each of the one or more or plurality of analytes in the sample.

Abstract:
A method for determining in a sample, by mass spectrometry, the presence, absence or amount of one or more lipid species from one or more lipid classes is described herein. The one or more lipid classes are selected from the group consisting of wax esters (WE), squalene (SQ), triacylglycerols (TAG), diacylglycerols (DAG), free fatty acids (FFA), cholesteryl esters (CE), cholesterol (CH), and combinations thereof. The method includes a) subjecting the sample to an ionization source to produce one or more ions detectable by mass spectrometry from each of the one or more lipid species; b) measuring, by mass spectrometry, the amount of the one or more ions from each of the one or more lipid species; and c) using the measured amount of the one or more ions to determine the presence, absence or amount of each of the one or more lipid species.
The present invention provides a compound of formula (I) or a salt thereof and their use as a biomarker in assessing or monitoring kidney function in a subject, determining predisposition to developing reduced kidney function, classifying a subject according to level of kidney function, diagnosing or monitoring chronic kidney disease. Compositions and method of making of the compound of formula (I) are also described.
