Progression of nephropathy in type 2 diabetes: the glycation gap is a significant predictor after adjustment for glycohemoglobin (Hb A1c).
BACKGROUND The glycation gap has been proposed as an index of nonglycemic determinants of glycated hemoglobin (Hb A(1c)). We investigated whether it predicts progression of nephropathy in type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS We recorded albumin excretion rate, Hb A(1c), and serum fructosamine in 2314 patients over an average of 6.5 years. Hb A(1c) was regressed on fructosamine by using a repeate...

متن کاملIs A1C Variability an Independent Predictor for the Progression of Atherosclerosis in Type 2 Diabetic Patients?
BACKGROUND Little is known about the relative contribution of long-term glycemic variability to the risk of macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetes. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of A1C variability on the progression of carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) in type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS Among type 2 diabetic patients who visited Hallym University Sacred H...
متن کاملSerum Ceruloplasmin Level as a Predictor for the Progression of Diabetic Nephropathy in Korean Men with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress is known to be associated with progression of diabetic kidney disease. Ceruloplasmin acts as a pro-oxidant under conditions of severe oxidative stress. Thus, we conducted a longitudinal observational study to evaluate whether the serum ceruloplasmin level is a predictive biomarker for progression of diabetic nephropathy. METHODS A total of 643 Korean men with type ...
متن کاملGlycohemoglobin A1c: A promising screening tool in gestational diabetes mellitus
CONTEXT Current screening tests for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are inconvenient. Therefore, alternative screening tests for GDM are desirable. The use of glycohemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in screening for GDM remains controversial. AIM We undertook this study to evaluate the utility of HbA1c in screening for GDM. SETTINGS AND DESIGN Retrospective study in a tertiary teaching hospital. ...
