• We describe a procedure for the rapid and specific measurement of creatinine, in which it is separated from other compounds in serum or urine by paired-ion chromatography and is quantified by measuring its absorbance at 200 nm. The procedure can be done on as little as 10 microliter of serum. Between-day precision studies for concentrations of 13 and 62 mg/liter yielded coefficients of variation of 6.9 and 2.2%, respectively. Analytical recovery of various amounts of creatinine added to plasma exceeded 95% in all cases. The proposed procedure was compared with the continuous-flow procedure by analyzing a series of serum and urine specimens by both methods. There was excellent agreement for urine specimens, but with serum the results by the present method were significantly (P less than 0.001) lower.
