چکیده

introduction: hemoglobin a1c (hba1c) reflects patient’s glycemic status over the previous 3 months. previous studies have reported that iron deficiency may elevate a1c concentrations, independent of glycemia. this study is aimed to analyze the effect of iron deficiency anemia on hba1c levels in diabetic population having plasma glucose levels in control. methods: totally, 120 diabetic, iron-deficient anemic individuals (70 females and 50 males) having controlled plasma glucose levels with same number of iron-sufficient non-anemic individuals were streamlined for the study. their data of hba1c (bio-rad d-10 hplc analyzer), ferritin (cobas e411 eclia hormone analyzer), fasting plasma glucose (fpg, roche hitachi p800/917 chemistry analyzer), hemoglobin (beckman coulter lh780), peripheral smear examination, red cell indices, and medical history were recorded. statistical analysis was carried out by student’s t-test, chi-square test, and pearson’s coefficient of regression. results: we found elevated hba1c (6.8 ± 1.4%) in iron-deficient individuals as compared to controls, and elevation was more in women (7.02 ± 1.58%). on further classification on the basis of fpg levels, a1c was elevated more in group having fasting glucose levels between 100-126 mg/dl (7.33 ± 1.55%) compared to the those with normal plasma glucose levels (<100 mg/dl). no significant correlation was found between hba1c and ferritin and hemoglobin. conclusion: this study found a positive correlation between iron deficiency anemia and increased a1c levels, especially in the controlled diabetic women and individuals having fpg between 100-126 mg/dl. hence, before altering the treatment regimen for diabetic patient, presence of iron deficiency anemia should be considered.

Effect of Iron Deficiency Anemia on Hemoglobin A1c Levels

BACKGROUND Iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of anemia in India. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is used in diabetic patients as an index of glycemic control reflecting glucose levels of the previous 3 months. Like blood sugar levels, HbA1c levels are also affected by the presence of variant hemoglobins, hemolytic anemias, nutritional anemias, uremia, pregnancy, and acute blood loss. Howeve...

Diagnosis of Iron Deficiency and Iron Deficiency Anemia with Reticulocyte Hemoglobin Content among Children Aged 6-18 Years

Background: Iron deficiency (ID) is the most common micronutrient deficiency in the world. If left untreated, ID will lead to iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and other irreversible consequences. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommended reticulocyte hemoglobin content (Ret-He) as an alternative laboratory examination to screen and detect ID. We aimed to compare Ret-He with other laboratory pa...
