AbstractCarbamylated hemoglobin (CarbHb) levels expressed as valine hydantoin (VH) were measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in patients with acute renal failure (ARF, n=35) and chronic renal failure (CRF, n=39). CarbHb levels in CRF patients were approxi mately 2.5 times of those in ARF ones (121.2 ± 8 vs 54.8 ± 6 jlgVH/gHb, p
