(1) The concentrations of unconjugated and conjugated phenol, p-cresol, benzyl alcohol, catechol, hydroquinone, homocatechol, and 2-methoxyresorcinol in uremic serum were determined using a mass fragmentographic method. Concentrations of all phenols in uremic serum were higher than in normal serum. Conjugated phenols existed mainly as sulfate esters. (2) The concentration of unconjugated phenol in uremic serum correlated with those of serum creatinine and urea, but not with the hematocrit value. Patients with the highest concentration of unconjugated phenol suffered from cerebral disorders, coma or lethargy, and hemorrhagic tendencies. Unconjugated phenol was detected in normal serum at a concentration of 0.86 +/- 0.63 mumol/l (mean +/- S.D., n = 10). (3) The concentration of unconjugated p-cresol in uremic serum did not correlate with those of serum creatinine, urea and the hematocrit value. (4) The concentrations of unconjugated and conjugated hydroquinone in uremic serum correlated with those of serum creatinine and urea. (5) 2-Methoxyresorcinol was first detected mainly as sulfate ester in uremic serum at a concentration of 19 +/- 9.0 mumol/l (mean +/- S.D,. n = 17). (6) The daily excretion of eight unconjugated phenols into normal urine was determined.

D006400 Hematocrit The volume of packed RED BLOOD CELLS in a blood specimen. The volume is measured by centrifugation in a tube with graduated markings, or with automated blood cell counters. It is an indicator of erythrocyte status in disease. For example, ANEMIA shows a low value; POLYCYTHEMIA, a high value.

D014508 Urea A compound formed in the liver from ammonia produced by the deamination of amino acids. It is the principal end product of protein catabolism and constitutes about one half of the total urinary solids. Basodexan,Carbamide,Carmol
D014511 Uremia A clinical syndrome associated with the retention of renal waste products or uremic toxins in the blood. It is usually the result of RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. Most uremic toxins are end products of protein or nitrogen CATABOLISM, such as UREA or CREATININE. Severe uremia can lead to multiple organ dysfunctions with a constellation of symptoms. Uremias
