NMR studies of body fluids

High resolution, high frequency, in vitro, proton NMR spectra of various body fluids, including urine, sweat, aqueous humour, amniotic fluid, seminal plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid and blood plasma are described and discussed. Applications include the detection of metabolic disorders, investigations of the biochemical basis of drug and xenobiotic metabolism, organ damage, and diagnoses for sick babies. The determination of metabolite concentrations is straightforward for fluids with a low protein content such as urine. In fluids with a high protein content such as blood plasma, it is possible to detect not only small molecules but also mobile regions of macromolecules, and to demonstrate the interaction of anions such as lactate with proteins. It seems likely that these methods will soon become established in modern pathology laboratories.
