Abstract
Plasma methylguanidine (MG) and creatinine (CRN) concentrations were m easured 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 positi ve correlation (y=0.187X - 0.379, gamma=0.9176, P<0.001) was found bet ween plasma MG and CRN levels. These results suggested that the increa se in plasma MG level was an available indicator for uremic status in cats.
