#AI reads Urine# Untargeted metabolomic profiling of serum and urine in kidney cancer
Published 14 July, 2025
This study conducted untargeted metabolomic analysis on serum and urine samples from 56 kidney cancer patients and 200 controls using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-ultra-high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-UHRMS) combined with multivariate statistical analysis. Significant metabolic abnormalities were found in kidney cancer patients involving lipid metabolism, amino acid biosynthesis, and glycerophospholipid metabolism pathways. Among them, 19 serum metabolites and 12 urine metabolites showed high diagnostic potential (AUC>0.9), providing evidence for the discovery of non-invasive biomarkers for kidney cancer. Further validation in larger cohorts is required to confirm their clinical value.
