Plasma methylguanidine and creatinine concentrations in cats with experimentally induced acute renal failure.
Plasma methylguanidine (MG) and creatinine (CRN) concentrations were measured in 11 cats with experimentally induced acute renal failure by a two-stage surgical procedure. According to the progression of renal failure, both plasma MG and CRN levels increased. A significant positive correlation (y = 0.187X - 0.379, lambda = 0.9176, P < 0.001) was found between plasma MG and CRN levels. These results suggested that the increase in plasma MG level was an available indicator for uremic status in cats.
