Urine samples were stored at −70°C and shipped on dry ice to the Inflammatory Markers Laboratory for analysis. Urinary 11-dh TxB2 (UTxB2), a marker of aspirin response and inflammation, were measured using the AspirinWorks™ ELISA assay (Corgenix).14 Briefly, 100 μL of urine in assay buffer was incubated with mouse monoclonal antibody and 11-dh TxB2-alkaline phosphatase tracer in a competitive fashion. UTxB2 concentrations were determined by measuring color development at 405 nm with an Absorbance Microplate reader and expressed as pg/mL. Final results are reported as pg UTxB2 per mg creatinine to normalize results for urine concentration.
