[40]UPLC-LTQ Orbitrap-MSSerumLysoPC(18:0), lysoPC(17:0), lysoPC(16:0), lysoPC(15:0), PA(20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)e/2:0), phenylalanyl phenylalanine, bilirubin glucuronide, acetoacetic acid, L-threonine, and DHAP(18:0) showed significant differences between the survival group and nonsurvival group; lysoPC(14:0), phenylalanyl phenylalanine, and bilirubin glucuronide improved with treatment and had potential disease-monitoring capability.

[41]UPLC-QTOF-MSSerumPhosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylcholine, nonconjugated bile acids, and conjugated bile acids were considered as common biomarkers of ACLF and CLF group, while linoleyl carnitine showed significant increase in CLF compared with ACLF; it was considered as the differential marker of the diagnosis of CLF and ACLF.

[42]HPLC-ion trapTOF-MSSerum1-Linoleoylglycerophosphocholine or 1-linoleoylphosphatidyl choline was found significantly different between healthy controls and liver failure group.
