As a result of our research on taleatinine metabolism in renal disorders, the present inventors isolated and identified a novel compound, 5-hydroxycreatinine, from the blood and urine of patients with renal disorders. This substance is not present in the blood of healthy people, but is uniquely found in the blood of patients with renal failure, and its production increases as the disease progresses, and various experimental results show that 5-hydroxycreatinine is derived from creatinine. It was discovered that methylguanidine is a precursor of methylguanidine when it is produced.
The present invention is based on these facts, and by measuring 5-hydroxycreatinine in blood or urine,
This enables early diagnosis of various renal mumps such as renal failure and uremia.

As a method for measuring guanidino compounds, fluorescence analysis using 9,10-phenanthrenequinone (PQ reagent) is often used. Although 5-hydroxycreatinine has a guanidino skeleton in its molecule, its reactivity with these fluorescent analysis reagents is extremely low (only one-fifth of creatinine, which has low sensitivity), making trace analysis easy.

Examples of the above-mentioned conversion treatment to methylguanidine include a method in which 5-hydroxycreatinine is separated by a fractionation method using a cation exchange resin or the like, or high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using the resin, and then subjected to a hydrolysis treatment. It is also possible to perform a hydrolysis treatment before separating 5-hydroxycreatinine and measure the total methylguanidine in the sample. In this case, the amount of methylguanidine before separation may be calculated separately and corrected by subtracting this amount from the total amount of methylguanidine, but even without such correction, the renal I! It is also useful for diagnosing kidney disorders to measure both 5-hydroxycreatinine and methylguanidine, whose production increases as the disease progresses. Depending on the hydrolysis method and conditions, it is possible to selectively convert only 5-hydroxycreatinine to methylguanidine, taking into account that methylguanidine may be produced from substances other than 5-hydroxycreatinine present in the sample. It is preferable to set the method and conditions for hydrolysis etc. as appropriate.
