NMR-based metabolomics approach to study urines of chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases patients.
The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based
metabolomic approach was used as analytical methodology
to study the urine samples of chronic inflammatory rheumatic
disease (CIRD) patients. The urine samples of CIRD patients
were compared to the ones of both healthy subjects and pa-
tients with multiple sclerosis (MS), another immuno-mediated
disease. Urine samples collected from 39 CIRD patients, 25
healthy subjects, and 26 MS patients were analyzed using
1
H
NMR spectroscopy, and the NMR spectra were examined
