Evaluation of renal dysfunction includes estimation of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as the initial step and subsequent laboratory testing. We hypothesized that combined analysis of serum creatinine, myo-inositol, dimethyl sulfone, and valine would allow both assessment of renal dysfunction and precise GFR estimation. Bio-banked sera were analyzed using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The metabolites were combined into a metabolite constellation (GFRNMR) using n = 95 training samples and tested in n = 189 independent samples. Tracer-measured GFR (mGFR) served as a reference. GFRNMR was compared to eGFR based on serum creatinine (eGFRCrea and eGFREKFC), cystatin C (eGFRCys-C), and their combination (eGFRCrea-Cys-C) when available. The renal biomarkers provided insights into individual renal and metabolic dysfunction profiles in selected mGFR-matched patients with otherwise homogenous clinical etiology. GFRNMR correlated better with mGFR (Pearson correlation coefficient r = 0.84 vs. 0.79 and 0.80). Overall percentages of eGFR values within 30% of mGFR for GFRNMR matched or exceeded those for eGFRCrea and eGFREKFC (81% vs. 64% and 74%), eGFRCys-C (81% vs. 72%), and eGFRCrea-Cys-C (81% vs. 81%). GFRNMR was independent of patients’ age and sex. The metabolite-based NMR approach combined metabolic characterization of renal dysfunction with precise GFR estimation in pediatric and adult patients in a single analytical step. |
