Specifically, a biomarker for diagnosis is provided that comprises a protein fragment or peptide of not less than 5 amino acid residues arising from at least one protein or peptide selected from the group of proteins consisting of an amino acid sequence expressed by SEQ ID NO: 1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 13, 15, 18, or 20 and selected from the group of partial peptide in these proteins consisting of an amino acid sequence expressed by SEQ ID NO: 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 19, or 21.

Abstract: The present invention is a method for detecting a specific disease based on the result of a measurement in which the amount of a peptide serving as a biomarker contained in a biological sample is determined by using an LC-MS. A pretreatment process performed before the measurement using the LC-MS includes the steps of preparing a mixed sample solution by adding a stable isotope reagent and a trifluoroacetic acid to the biological sample, where the stable isotope reagent is prepared beforehand by labeling the peptide with a stable isotope; boiling the mixed sample solution; injecting the mixed sample solution after boiled into a solid-phase extraction column to make the peptide be retained in the solid-phase extraction column; and passing a water-soluble organic solvent through the solid-phase extraction column to elute the peptide retained in the solid-phase extraction column and collect the eluate.
