Abstract：
:We have developed an HPLC method for measuring carbamylated hemoglobin (CarHb), based on the quantification of valine hydantoin formed from the released NH2-terminal carbamyl valine residue after acid hydrolysis of hemoglobin. In uremia, CarHb is produced by nonenzymatic post-translational modification of the terminal amino group of hemoglobin monomers by isocyanic acid, derived from the spontaneous dissociation of urea. We measured CarHb in 25 nonuremic control subjects, 24 nonuremic diabetic subjects, and 30 patients with stable chronic renal failure. There was no significant difference between the controls and diabetic patients, their mean (SD) CarHb values being 41 (11.5) and 38 (10.8) micrograms of carbamyl valine per gram of hemoglobin (microgram CV/gHb), respectively. Mean (SD) CarHb values in the uremic patients were much greater, 164 (87.7) microgram CV/gHb. There was significant correlation between the concentrations of CarHb and plasma urea in the uremic subjects. Thus CarHb provides a urea-derived index of chronic uremia.
