We propose a specific, reproducible and sensitive HPLC method for the determination of N(epsilon)-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) excreted in urine. Total CML was measured in acid hydrolysates of urine samples, while free CML was measured in acetonitrile-deproteinised urine samples using a RP-HPLC method with ortho-phtaldialdehyde (OPA)-derivatisation and fluorescence detection suited for automation. We compared the CML excretion of 51 non-proteinuric patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) (age 57+/-14 years, HbA1c 8.0+/-1.8%) to 42 non-diabetic controls (C) (age 45+/-17 years). The urinary excretion of total CML in diabetic patients was increased by approximately 30% (DM: 0.58+/-0.21; C: 0.45+/-0.14 microM/mmol creatinine; P<0.001). While urinary excretion of free CML was not significantly different, excretion of bound CML was increased (DM: 0.36+/-0.17; C: 0.27+/-0.14; P<0.05) in diabetic patients. CML excretion was correlated with protein and albumin excretion, but did not correlate with HbA1c, duration of DM or diabetic complications such as neuropathy or retinopathy. Furthermore, no age-dependent change of total CML excretion was found, while free CML excretion was lower in younger subjects. The specific and sensitive determination of CML by RP-HPLC of its OPA-derivative is well suited for automation and better than that of less defined glycoxidation products (AGEs).
