RESUMO
Determination of urinary catecholamines and metanephrines is important for diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method has been developed for the determination of catecholamines and metanephrines in human urine using deuterated internal standards (IS). In this method, 1000 µL of urine samples were treated by liquid-liquid extraction using ethyl acetate and subjected to LC-MS/MS analysis using positive electrospray ionization (ESI+). A BDS HYPERSILTM C18 column (125 mm × 3 mm, 3 µm) was used and mobile phase was water:methanol (98:2, v/v) with 0.25% of formic acid at 200 µ L min−1. The method has a chromatographic running time of approximately 10 min. The average of recovery was 92.9-106.1% for epinephrine, 94.6-107.7% for norepinephrine, 98.0-108.8% the dopamine, 94.2-105.1% the metanephrine, 97.0-106.0% for normetanephrine. The precision was lower than 7.0% for all analytes. Furthermore, this method has been implemented successfully in routine laboratory due to its easy execution and excellent precision.
