[Measurement of urinary free cotinine. Comparison with the level of expired air carbon monoxide].

Abstract：

BACKGROUND AND AIM:Cotinine is a very reliable index for the estimation of active or passive smoking. Sampling from a single urine void is well accepted by smokers who are willing to stop. It is not possible to exclude modification of urine cotinine according to beverage intake. The aim of this study was to determine if urine cotinine concentration must necessarily be adjusted to creatinine or not, by making comparison with expired air carbon monoxide. MATERIAL AND METHODS:Carbon monoxide was measured in 53 smokers coming for the first time in a smoking cessation program. Urine cotinine was measured by HPLC-UV. The cut-off value for abstinence is 8ppm and 0.05 mg/L, repectively. Urine creatinine was determined using the Jaffe reaction. RESULTS:Mean CO level was 18.5 +/- 10.6 ppm and mean urine cotine was 1.45 +/- 0.86 mg/L. Eight smokers had CO 8 ppm. They should be considered as abstinent. However, only one of them had a cotinine under the detection limit. Urine creatinine varied in a large range (0.7 - 35 mmol/L). But, cotinine was only weakly correlated to creatinine (r = 0.279, p = 0.037). There was a highly significant correlation between cotinine and CO (0.649, p = 0.0001). The correlation of cotinine/creatinine versus CO was not significant (r = 0.249, p = 0.072). In order to take into account fluid intake, urine cotinine of each sample was adjusted as if creatinine was equal to the mean (8.3 mmol/L) of the group of subjects. The correlation observed with adjusted or non adjusted cotinine and CO (r = 0.640, p < 0.0001) was the same. CONCLUSION:Urine cotinine from a single void is an accurate index of tobacco smoking at the individual level. There is no need to adjust cotinine concentration, taking into account urine creatinine. Measurement of urine cotinine can be useful to manage smokers who deliberately wish to overcome tobacco dependence, offering the opportunity to provide an adequate level of nicotine substitutive therapy. It is also of peculiar importance to follow-up pregnant women and smokers for whom cessation is required after a clinical event. Finally, absence of cotinine in urine can be used to document abstinence from tobacco products.
