Carnosine is generally very low and increases proportionally after meat intake. Urine levels peak after ~5 hours and are completely excreted within 20–25 hours.
Urine carnosine increased with albuminuria in patients with diabetes. People with eGFR < 30 ml/mi had higher urine-carnosine excretion rates compared to eGFR (> 90 ml).
