Metabolomics for the identification of biomarkers in endometriosis

Swarnima Pandey. Arch Gynecol Obstet. 2024 Dec.

Abstract

Background: Endometriosis affects the quality of life in women during their reproductive years, causing immense pain and can result in infertility. It is characterized by inflammation and the growth of the endometrium outside the uterine cavity. Metabolomics has the potential to resolve the major bottleneck of endometriosis which is delay in diagnosis due to the invasive diagnostic approach.In this review, the author has summarized the identified biomarkers of endometriosis from different bodily fluids. Metabolomics promises a non-invasive diagnostic approach for endometriosis that could aid in earlier diagnosis and prognosis.

Methods: Patients with endometriosis keywords were searched in correspondence with the assigned keywords, including metabolomics from PubMed, from its inception to Dec 2023. The relevant studies from this search were extracted and included in the study.

Results: This article provides information regarding metabolomics studies in endometrisis.

Conclusions: We demonstrated that metabolomics is about to change the world of endometriosis by analyzing and detecting the diagnosis, prognosis, mortality and treatment response biomarkers.

Keywords: Biomarker; Endometriosis; Follicular fluids; Metabolomics; Peritoneal fluid.
