Additional Codes
SQ: 23BPTM
MAYO: 23BPT
Ordering Guidance
A 24-hour urine collection is the preferred specimen type, but a random specimen is also acceptable for 2,3-dinor 11beta-prostaglandin F2 alpha; order 23BPR / 2,3-Dinor 11 Beta-Prostaglandin F2 Alpha, Random, Urine.
If the total volume provided is less than 300 mL or the specimen does not meet the 24-hour urine requirements, this test will be canceled and 23BPR ordered and performed.
Necessary Information
Specimen volume (in milliliters) and duration (in hours) are required.
Specimen Required
Patient Preparation: Patients taking aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may have decreased concentrations of prostaglandin F2 alpha. If possible, discontinue for 2 weeks or 72 hours, respectively, prior to collecting a specimen.
Supplies: Sarstedt Aliquot Tube, 5 mL (T914)
Container/Tube: Plastic, 5-mL tube
Specimen Volume: 5 mL
Collection Instructions:
1. Collect urine refrigerate for 24 hours.
2. No preservative preferred.

Method Description
2,3-Dinor-11beta-prostaglandin F2 alpha (2,3 BPG) is quantified in urine by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Deuterium-labeled 2,3-dinor-11beta-prostaglandin F2 alpha (d9-2,3 BPG) and reagent are added to all controls and specimens, which are then liquid/liquid extracted. The extractant is evaporated and samples and controls then reconstituted. Chromatographic separation is achieved with an analytical column. This eluent is transferred to an API 5000 MS/MS. The ratios of the integrated peak heights of 2,3 BPG and d9-2,3 BPG internal standard are used to calculate the concentration of the analyte. All 2,3 BPG concentrations are normalized to urine creatinine levels.(Unpublished Mayo method)
Creatinine:
All 2,3 BPG concentrations are normalized to urine creatinine levels measured using a Roche cobas enzymatic method. The enzymatic method is based on the determination of sarcosine from creatinine with the aid of creatininase, creatinase, and sarcosine oxidase. The liberated hydrogen peroxide is measured via a modified Trinder reaction using a colorimetric indicator. Optimization of the buffer system and the colorimetric indicator enables the creatinine concentration to be quantified both precisely and specifically.(Package insert: Creatinine plus ver 2.
