  • Urinary Metabolites as Predictors of Acute Mountain Sickness Severity
    Publication number: 20240085434
    Abstract: A method of predicting acute mountain sickness (AMS). The method includes collecting a urine sample from a subject and analyzing the urine sample for a quantity of at least one metabolite selected from the group consisting of creatine, taurine, N-methylhistidine, hypoxanthine, 1-methylnicotinamide, 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate, acetylcarnitine, and 3-methylhistidine. The quantity is compared to a threshold value for the respective metabolite. Based on the comparison, it is determined whether the subject is susceptible to experience AMS at high altitudes.
