Newborn diseases identify by NMR metabolomics. (A) Three different markers (3OH-butyric acid, acetoacetic acid and acetone) in an NMR spectrum of a urine sample from a newborn, show high concentrations as compared to the normal ranges of intensity for other urine samples, suggesting ketosis. (B) The metabolite trimethylamine shows also an extremely high concentration in one sample, strongly indicating the presence of trimethylaminuria for that neonate.
