Methods, apparatuses, and systems for determining a peritoneal transport status classification of a patient based on mass analyzing low volumes of peritoneal dialysis (PD) effluent evaluated using PD effluent fingerprints of known transport statuses to determine a peritoneal transport status classification of the patient are described. In one example, a method includes obtaining a volume of PD effluent of the dialysis patient, generating patient information via mass analysis of the volume of PD effluent, and determining patient profile information based on evaluating the patient information with a profile library, the patient profile information comprising a peritoneal transport status classification. The PD effluent fingerprints may include information of at least one biomarker including at least one of L-tryptophan, 2-methoxy-2-methylpopanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-butyric acid, L-glutamine, L-phenylalanine, L-leucine, L-serine, L-α-glycerophosphorylcholine, cis-cinnamic acid, L-tyrosine, uric acid, L-histidine, N1-acetylspermidine, L-isoleucine, 5′-methylthioadenosine, and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid.
