| Abstract: | "Chromatographic studies on breath composition are aimed at finding volatile markers useful for medical diagnostics or in screening investigations. Studies leading to the development of screening breath tests are especially important for the diagnostics of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The aim of the presented study was to confirm diagnostic usefulness of chosen volatile compounds detected in breath, which are suggested as potential biomarkers of renal dysfunction and diabetes. Breath analysis were carried out in three groups: 10 healthy volunteers, 10 patients with CKD and 10 patients with CKD and T2DM. All exhaled air samples were analyzed using gas chromatograph (Agilent 6890GC) coupled with mass spectrometer (5975MSD). Thermal desorption was applied as the enrichment method. TMA was detected only in CKD patients. Higher breath concentrations of methanethiol (MeSH) were observed in CKD patients with coexisting diabetes than in patients with renal dysfunction only or in the healthy group. There was a tendency of increasing MeSH concentration in breath with increasing total glutathione in plasma (r=0.53, p=0.0026). Also, a trend of increasing dimethylsulfide (DMS) levels detected in breath was noticed with an increase of hydrogen sulfide concentration in plasma (r=0.74; p=0.00001) as well as with aspartate aminotransferase (AST), (r=0.61; p=0.001). The presented results suggest the possibility of applying TMA, MeSH, and DMS detection in breath as diagnostic methods" |
