Measurement of Hemoglobin A1c
Evaluation of glycemia is used for the diagnosis and management of patients with diabetes. Glucose and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) provide complementary information and both are used to assess an individual’s glycemic status. The concentration of glucose in the blood indicates the subject’s glycemia at the time of blood sampling. However, blood glucose concentrations are modified by numerous factors...
متن کاملHemoglobin A1c in Diabetes: Panacea or Pointless?
Glycation is the nonenzymatic attachment of a monosaccharide to amino groups of proteins. The reaction has been recognized for many years in the food industry, where it is known as browning (also termed the Maillard reaction) and is responsible for the formation of commonly ingested items, such as toast. In patients with diabetes, glucose accumulation results in enhanced glycation of many prote...
متن کاملUnexpected hemoglobin A1c results.
A 52-year-old woman with a medical history of hepatitis B, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, anemia, and depression presented to the internal medicine clinic for a routine visit. Laboratory tests 3 months previously had revealed an impaired fasting glucose concentration of 5.9 mmol/L (106 mg/dL) [reference interval, 3.9 –5.6 mmol/L (70 –100 mg/dL)]. Therefore, a hemoglobin (Hb) A1c analysis was per...
متن کاملGlobal Harmonization of Hemoglobin A1c
Measurement of glycohemoglobin (GHb) is widely used in patients with diabetes mellitus as a monitor of longterm glycemic control (1–3). In addition, prospective randomized clinical trials, most notably the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) and the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS), have demonstrated that GHb is a measure of the risk for the development of diabetes ...
متن کاملEarly screening of gestational diabetes mellitus using maternal hemoglobin A1C: Revision of current screening guidelines
Background: HbA1C has been a known predictor and diagnostic test for diabetes type 2. However, this test has not yet been widely studied in GDM and more importantly no cutoff point has been defined for HbA1C in GDM. We investigated the efficacy of screening during first and second trimester of pregnancy and defined appropriate cutoff points according to HbA1C and FBS for predicting maternal GDM...
