title: Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis of erythrocyte 3-deoxyglucosone in hemodialysis patients.
abstract: The erythrocyte levels of 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG) were measured by a selected ion monitoring method of gas chromatography-chemical ionization mass spectrometry using [13C6]-3-DG as an internal standard. Because the erythrocyte levels of 3-DG measured after deproteinization using ethanol were 18 times higher than those using ultrafiltration, we used ethanol deproteinization for measurement of total 3-DG in the erythrocytes. The concentration of 3-DG was significantly elevated in hemodialysis (HD) patients compared with healthy subjects. Although HD treatment could remove the erythrocyte 3-DG efficiently, its post-HD levels were still elevated compared with the healthy subjects.
