Enhanced Gylcosylation of Haemoglobin in AIDS
نویسندگان
چکیده
We previously documented supernormal glycohaemoglobin concerntrations in about 40% of patients with AIDS [1]. Our findings were later confirmed in another study [2]. In both these studies, fasting plasma glucose concentrations were not elevated. However, it is unclear whether enhanced glycosylation in the presence of normal glycaemia occurs in all patients with AIDS or only in a certain population. Therefore, this study was undertaken to assess the degree of glycosylation of haemoglobin in patients with AIDS in comparison to the process in normal subjects.
