Urine S-Adenosylmethionine are Related to Degree of Renal Insufficiency in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Abstract Objective To determine whether urine S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) might be an indicator of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods We investigated urine levels of SAM and related metabolites (S-adenosylhomocysteine and homocysteine cysteine) in 62 patients (average age, 65.9 years) with CKD (st...

Objective
To determine whether urine S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) might be an indicator of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methods
We investigated urine levels of SAM and related metabolites (S-adenosylhomocysteine and homocysteine cysteine) in 62 patients (average age, 65.9 years) with CKD (stages II–V).
Results
Patients with stages III–V CKD stages have significantly decreased urine levels and SAM/S-adenosylhomocysteine ratio and also cysteine/homocysteine ratio in blood plasma (P |
