S. Maschke et al., H-1-NMR ANALYSIS OF TRIMETHYLAMINE IN URINE FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF FISH-ODOR SYNDROME, Clinica chimica acta, 263(2), 1997, pp. 139-146
This paper reports the use of proton NMR spectroscopy for the analysis
of trimethylamine in the urine of a patient with trimethylaminuria. A
nalysis of this compound was also performed for other members of his f
amily. Qualitative and quantitative determination of trimethylamine an
d trimethylamine-N-oxide was simultaneously performed on untreated uri
ne within a few minutes. The application of the method is discussed. (
