Total homocysteine (tHcy) and cysteine (tCys) concentrations in biological fluids are routinely used in the clinical diagnosis of genetic and metabolic diseases, and this necessitates the development of rapid and sensitive methods for quantification. Liquid chromatography electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used to measure tHcy and tCys in 23 plasma and 21 urine samples from healthy adults and 14 urine samples from healthy children. The results were compared with a standard high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. The coefficient of variation (CV) for the LC-MS/MS method ranged from 2.9% to 6.1% for the intraassay and 4.8% to 6.4% for the interassay. Mean recoveries were close to 100% for both plasma and urinary tHcy and tCys. The mean plasma tHcy and tCys concentrations in healthy adults were 8.62 and 261.40 mu mol/L, respectively. The mean urinary tHcy and tCys in adults were 0.98 and 22.60 mu mol/mmol creatinine, respectively. The mean urinary tHcy and tCys in children were 1.17 and 27.43 mu mol/mmol creatinine, respectively. Bland-Altman difference plots of method comparison between LC-MS/MS and HPLC showed good agreement in plasma and urinary tHcy and tCys concentrations. Our method is suitable for rapid measurements, and the reported urinary values in children will help to develop a pediatric reference range for clinical use. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc.
