Seasonal variation of glycosylated haemoglobin.
Retrospective analysis of glycosylated haemoglobin concentrations in a diabetic outpatient clinic over three and a half years showed a small seasonal variation in the mean value with a peak in mid February and a nadir in mid August.
متن کاملClinical applications of glycosylated haemoglobin
Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) has been in use since 1980s as the 'gold standard' for monitoring glycaemic control and as a predictor of diabetic complications. Even though several conditions, such as, haemolytic anaemia (lowers HbA1c) and aplastic anaemia (raises HbA1c) tend to confound and interfere with HbA1c measurement, in most circumstances HbA1c is a valid and reliable index of glycaem...
متن کاملGlycosylated haemoglobin in rheumatoid arthritis.
Shortened red cell survival has a role in the anaemia of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but direct measurement of it is difficult. Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1) provides an index of red cell life span in normoglycaemic patients, because glycosylation depends on both the concentration of blood glucose and the duration of erythrocyte survival. HbA1 was significantly lower in 30 patients with RA (5....
متن کاملSeasonal variation of haemoglobin A1c in a Portuguese adult population.
OBJECTIVE Haemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) is routinely used for monitoring glycemic control in patients with diabetes. Hb A1c seasonal fluctuations can be directly related to different biological, geographical and cultural influences. Our purpose was to evaluate seasonal variation of Hb A1c in a hospital-based adult population over a period of 5 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed retrospective...
متن کاملPersistent fetal haemoglobin and falsely high glycosylated haemoglobin levels.
Some of the routine methods of measuring glycosylated haemoglobin depend on its difference in charge from haemoglobin A and do not distinguish between glycosylated haemoglobin and fetal haemoglobin. Two insulin dependent diabetics showed persistent discrepancies between their capillary blood glucose values and their glycosylated haemoglobin values measured by agar gel electrophoresis: the blood...
