Hyperhomocysteinemia is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis and vascular occlusive disease. Assessment of total plasma concentration of homocysteine (tHcys) requires accurate and reproducible measurements. The aim of this study was to test a rapid isocratic HPLC method for tHcys analysis with an internal standard (I.S.) of alpha-mercaptopropionylglycine (MPG), 2-mercaptoethylamine (ME), or N-acetylcysteine (NAC) or without I.S., and to verify whether the use of an I.S. improves the precision. The method without I.S. showed an excellent linearity (y = 1.59x - 0.15, r = 1), recovery (100%) and a within-assay relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of 1.2%. Instead, in our hands, the presence of I.S.s decreased the reproducibility (within-assay R.S.D. ranged from 4.5 to 6.5%) and lengthened the chromatogram by up to four to five times. In conclusion, HPLC measurement of plasma tHcys without I.S. improves accuracy with respect to determination with I.S.; moreover, this approach allows to routinely process larger amounts of plasma samples.
