The standard enzymatic assay for quantification of D-sorbitol in plasma was adapted to the automatic analyzer Cobas Mira S. In the assay, NAD (reagent) in the presence of sorbitoldehydrogenase (SDH; start reagent) converts D-sorbitol to fructose with formation of NADH, which was detected automatically as the difference between the first and last readings at 340 nm. The sample blank values for each specimen were subtracted to exclude both endogenous D-sorbitol and sugars, which also react as substrates for SDH. The method is simple, rapid (40 samples/h), precise down to endogenous concentrations (coefficient of variation < 5%; limit of determination: 0.38 mg/L) and linear up to 100 mg/L. Samples with higher D-sorbitol concentrations were estimated after dilution. The method was used to measure disposition curves of sorbitol in volunteers after a single intravenous dose of 0.8 g sorbitol.
