Core Tip	Previous urinary metabolic profiling studies using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from Egypt and West Africa suggested the reproducibility of an identifying urinary metabolic profile in HCC. Here, a Bangladeshi HCC cohort was studied to identify similar changes. Urine samples from 142 subjects with hepatitis B HCC, cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis B, or no history of liver disease were analyzed using NMR. Urinary NMR from HCC differed across a range of metabolites, including reduced hippurate and creatinine and increased carnitine levels, consistent with the diverse effects of liver cancer on metabolic pathways and the interrelationship with the gut microbiome. Previous findings were corroborated, suggesting that a panel of metabolic markers could form the basis of a cost-effective HCC dipstick screening test.
