  • Title: An improved high performance liquid chromatographic method for determining urinary oxalate, making use of an ID-MS reference method.
    Author: Koolstra W, Wolthers BG, Hayer M, Rutgers HM.
    Journal: Clin Chim Acta; 1987 Dec; 170(2-3):237-43. PubMed ID: 3436058.
    Abstract:
    With the aid of a newly developed isotope dilution mass spectrometric (ID-MS) measurement of urinary oxalate, an existing HPLC method for assaying this substance was investigated. Results obtained with this method were too high, apparently due to a systematic error. Subsequently, this method was improved by additional prepurification in three different ways: (a) precipitation with CaSO4 to Ca-oxalate, (b) adsorption (and subsequent desorption) to columns supplied with a commercial kit for urinary oxalate and (c) the enzymatic destruction of urinary oxalate present. This work demonstrates the successful use of a reference method in improving a newly developed analytical procedure and presents a reliable and reproducible HPLC method for determining urinary oxalate.
