Hemoglobin variants are reported to falsely lower or increase hemoglobin A1c test results. We present a case report of a patient with diabetes with discrepancy between fasting plasma glucose and hemoglobin A1c due to the presence of hemoglobin ...

The authors calculated the monthly average A1c values for the overall population and for subpopulations defined by age, sex, race, ins...
متن کاملInfluence of variables on hemoglobin A1c values and nonheterogeneity of hemoglobin A1c reference ranges.
INTRODUCTION Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) values are influenced by analytical interferences such as HbF and hemoglobin variants and clinical factors such as increased red cell turnover. Although less well-known, demographic factors such as race, age, and sex also influence HbA1c values. The HbA1c reference range should be homogenous in the United States based on the use of National Glycohemoglobin St...
