Creatol (CTL) is a hydroxyl radical adduct of creatinine (Cr). The serum methylguanidine (MG) level and the MG/Cr molar ratio are reported to be biomarkers for oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to examine whether urinary excretion of CTL, another oxidative stress-related marker, is increased in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF). One hundred twenty-four non-dialyzed patients with chronic renal failure (serum Cr level, 1.3-10.0 mg/dL) were recruited from our hospitals. Urine and serum levels of CTL and MG were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with the use of 9, 10- phenanthrenequinone as a fluorogenic reagent. The CTL/Cr and (CTL+MG)/Cr molar ratios in spot urine samples were also compared with those in 24-h urine samples. The urinary CTL/Cr and (CTL+MG)/Cr molar ratios increased with decreases in Cr clearance in patients with CRF. Correlations between serum and spot urine (CTL+MG)/Cr and between serum and spot urine CTL/Cr were quite similar to those in 24-h urine samples. CTL/Cr and (CTL+MG)/Cr molar ratios in both 24-h urine and spot urine samples appear to be useful indices of the severity of CRF.
