title: Plasma methylguanidine and creatinine concentrations in cats with experimentally induced acute renal failure.
abstract: 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.
