Hemoglobin A1c testing alone does not sufficiently identify patients with prediabetes.
Whether hemoglobin A(1c) (HbA(1c)) values are suitable for diagnosing diabetes has been debated. We sought to assess the prevalence of elevated HbA(1c) levels in a prediabetes patient population. Oral glucose tolerance tests and HbA(1c) levels were analyzed for patients entering a diabetes prevention program between January 1, 2007, and September 13, 2009. We calculated the percentage of patien...
متن کاملProficiency testing of Hb A1c: a 4-year experience in Taiwan and the Asian Pacific region.
BACKGROUND The correlation between hemoglobin A(1c) (Hb A(1c)) and risk for complications in diabetic patients heightens the need to measure Hb A(1c) with accuracy. We evaluated the current performance for measuring Hb A(1c) in the Asian and Pacific region by examining data submitted by laboratories participating in the Taiwan proficiency-testing program. METHODS Five fresh-pooled blood sampl...
متن کاملChanges in dried blood spot Hb A1c with varied postcollection conditions.
Diabetes affects Ͼ5% of US adults (15% of those older than 60 years) and is on the rise in adolescents. Gly-cosylated hemoglobin (Hb A 1c), a cumulative marker of blood glucose concentrations over the previous 2 months, has become a powerful clinical tool for diabetes management (1, 2) and is predic-tive of future complications of diabetes (3). Large-scale community-based studies often preclude...
متن کاملHemoglobin (Hb) Stanleyville II causes gross overestimation of the Hb A1c proportion in routine HPLC.
duction in neutrophils is induced by G-CSF, and NAP is released into the bloodstream, perhaps through leakage of ALP from damaged or dead neutrophils. Fossa et al. (9 ) reported leukocytosis and increased serum ALP in response to G-CSF treatment and suggested that increased serum ALP activity was related to release of the enzyme from the increased numbers of leukocytes. Neutrophils were reporte...
متن کاملLower Hb at the initiation of dialysis does not adversely affect 1-year mortality rate
Background: The management of renal anemia in the pre-dialysis period has been remarkably improved by longacting erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA). However, many incident dialysis patients cannot achieve target hemoglobin (Hb) levels (> 10 g/dL) and sometimes require blood transfusions. Anemia at the time of dialysis initiation is reportedly correlated with cardiomegaly and early cardiova...
