The invention discloses a determination method of a urine metabolic marker for early diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy. The method mainly utilizes analysis technique and method such as gas mass spectrometry and mass liquid spectrometry for quantitative determination of endogenous small molecule compounds in urine of patients with diabetes and diabetic nephropathy; and relative concentration difference between endogenous small molecule compounds in a pathological group and a normal group is calculated and compared, so as to be applied to clinical early diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy. Compared with other existing clinical diagnosis indexes, the method has advantages of wide adaptation range, sensitivity, simple sampling and operation, and no harm on the body. The method is more suitable for screening of diabetic nephropathy in early stage with some uncertain physiological and biochemical indexes, so as to avoid missing of the best treatment time due to delayed diagnosis.
