Article Abstract
Background: Previously, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipped with ultraviolet or fluorescence detectors has been used for separation of human mercaptalbumin (HMA) and human non-mercaptalbumin (HNA). However, it is difficult to perform reliable chromatographic analysis due to peak interference of such serum compounds as uric acid and bilirubin. The aim of this study is to explore a selective and simple analytical method for the determination of HMA and HNA.
Method: HMA and HNA in serum sample were separated by HPLC and reacted with bromocresol green using a postcolumn reaction scheme.
Results: A complete separation of HMA and HNA is achieved in less than 30 min by using weak anion exchange columns and isocratic elution. Within-run and between-day precisions at albumin concentration of 45 g/L were 4.2 and 1.7% for HMA and 4.5 and 4.6% for HNA, respectively. There was no interference in HMA and HNA peaks when bilirubin-, haemoglobin- or chyle-spiked pooled serum samples were analysed.
Conclusion: Our method is reliable and not labour-intensive and, therefore, might be applicable for clinical and epidemiological studies.

Reducing the levels of indoxyl sulfate in patients undergoing dialysis: a promising approach to managing inflammation and the redox state of human serum albumin.

Indoxyl sulfate (IS) is one of the most potent uraemic toxins involved in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) through the induction of inflammation and oxidative stress. This study assessed the potential benefits of reducing IS concentrations through dialysis treatment to improve renal function, inflammation, and oxidative stress. A prospective, observational cohort study of 50 patients with CKD undergoing dialysis treatment was conducted.

Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by CAG trinucleotide repeat expansions in exon 1 of the HTT gene. In addition to germline CAG expansions, somatic repeat expansions in neurons also contribute to HD pathogenesis. The DNA mismatch repair gene, MSH3, identified as a genetic modifier of HD onset and progression, promotes somatic CAG expansions, and thus presents a potential therapeutic target.

Oxidative stress is involved in the development, progression, and complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). Oxidative modification of human serum albumin's cysteine-34 is a marker for oxidative stress-related pathological conditions. We aimed to evaluate the redox state of albumin in patients with DM to investigate possible correlations with age, diabetes duration, and disease control status.

Human serum albumin is categorized into human mercaptalbumin (HMA) and human non-mercaptalbumin (HNA), according to the redox state of the cysteine residue at position 34. The ratio of HMA to total albumin (%HMA) is a novel biomarker of oxidative stress as well as protein nutritional status, but measuring %HMA normally requires an expensive analyzer such as HPLC and LC-MS, and can hardly be conducted in many clinical sites. To address this issue, we aimed to develop a methodological basis for estimating %HMA without these analyzers.

Background And Aim: Maintenance haemodialysis patients have increased morbidity and mortality which is mainly driven by an elevated inflammation level due to the uraemic milieu. A major part of this increased inflammation level is the degree of oxidative stress which can be assessed by albumin redox state (ARS). Aim of this study was to evaluate how the ARS is affected by a haemodialysis treatment and different dialyzer properties.
