Analysis of creatinine in mouse and rat serum by ion exchange high performance liquid chromatography for in vivo studies of renal function

An ion exchange high performance liquid chromatography method was developed for determining creatinine levels in both mouse and rat serum samples. Separation of creatinine from other serum components was achieved in 10 min using a 100 × 4.1-mm, 10 μm strong cation exchange column following acetonitr...

Zusammenfassung:An ion exchange high performance liquid chromatography method was developed for determining creatinine levels in both mouse and rat serum samples. Separation of creatinine from other serum components was achieved in 10 min using a 100 × 4.1-mm, 10 μm strong cation exchange column following acetonitrile precipitation of serum proteins. Incorporation of a guard cartridge placed in-line prior to the analytical column was employed to prevent interference from compounds used in renal disease animal trials. Creatinine levels in normal and diseased animals were accurately determined in the 0.01–10 mg/dL range, and average recovery of the method was approximately 85% for both mouse and rat serum. Addition of 0.5–1.0% acetic acid to the acetonitrile used for protein precipitation significantly improved creatinine recovery to above 97% in mouse serum. The method was used for routine preclinical diagnosis of rat and mouse model renal function, and for the evaluation of renal disease treatment efficacy.
