2. Description of the Related Art Methylguanidine is known as one of the major urinary toxins that accumulates in the blood of patients with renal failure and is considered to be produced from creatinine by active oxygen. The present inventors have studied creatinine metabolism in renal impairment, and have isolated and identified a novel compound, 5-hydroxycreatinine, from the blood and urine of patients with renal impairment. This substance is not found in the blood of healthy individuals but is found in the blood of patients with renal impairment, and its production is increased as the disease progresses. It has been found that methylguanidine is a precursor of methylguanidine when produced. Based on these facts, the present invention enables early diagnosis of various renal disorders such as renal failure and uremic disease by measuring 5-hydroxycreatinine in blood or urine.

As a method for measuring a guanidino compound, fluorescence analysis using ninhydrin, benzoin, 9,10-phenanthrenequinone (PQ reagent) or the like has been widely used. Although 5-hydroxycreatinine has a guanidino skeleton in the molecule, its reactivity with these reagents for fluorescence analysis is extremely low, and trace analysis is not easy. Then, since methylguanidine has higher reactivity with the above fluorescent reagent than 5-hydroxycreatinine, the present inventors have found a quantitative method of the present invention in which 5-hydroxycreatinine is converted to methylguanidine for measurement.

The above-mentioned conversion to methylguanidine is carried out by fractionation using a cation exchange resin or the like, or separation of 5-hydroxycreatinine by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using the resin, followed by hydrolysis. Is mentioned. It is also possible to carry out a hydrolysis treatment before separating 5-hydroxycreatinine, and to measure the total methylguanidine in the sample.
In this case, the amount of methylguanidine before separation is separately determined,
This amount may be subtracted from the total methylguanidine amount for correction, but without such correction, both 5-hydroxycreatinine and methylguanidine, whose production is increased along with the progression of the renal impairment, are combined. Measurement is also useful as a diagnosis of renal dysfunction. Depending on the method and conditions of hydrolysis, taking into account the case where methylguanidine is produced from a substance other than 5-hydroxycreatinine present in the sample, only 5-hydroxycreatinine can be selectively converted to methylguanidine. It is preferable to appropriately set the method and conditions for such hydrolysis and the like.

As a result, a positive correlation was found between the serum values of these three substances. As an example, FIG. 2 shows the correlation between the serum creatinine level and the serum 5-hydroxycreatinine level in diabetic nephropathy.

Methylguanidine cannot be detected unless the serum creatinine value is at least about 2 mg / dl, whereas 5-hydroxycreatinine is detected even when the creatinine value is lower than 2 mg / dl, so the symptoms are mild. It enables early detection and early treatment of early stage kidney disease. In patients with renal insufficiency, 5-hydroxycreatinine is contained about 10 times that of methylguanidine. For example, 5-hydroxycreatinine can be detected even in serum whose methylguanidine content is one-tenth of the detection limit. The assay is particularly useful for diagnosing early renal dysfunction.

If renal function is normal, 5-hydroxycreatinine is rapidly excreted in urine and does not accumulate in blood, and is not detected in blood of healthy humans. However, the accumulation of 5-hydroxycreatinine in the blood increases with a decrease in renal function. In addition, it is considered that as renal dysfunction becomes severe, the total amount of 5-hydroxycreatinine, which is a urinary toxin and a precursor of methylguanidine, increases, and the amount of 5-hydroxycreatinine in body fluids and urine increases accordingly.
