Haemoglobin Marseille-Long Island and interpretation of HbA1c: which HbA1c result is the "right answer"?
نویسندگان
چکیده
A woman was screened for diabetes using glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c). Vastly different results were obtained by high performance liquid chromatography (45%), immunoassay (2.9%), and affinity chromatography (4.2%) compared with the non-diabetic range of less than 6.4%. Mass spectral studies confirmed the presence a haemoglobin variant, haemoglobin Marseille-Long Island which had confounded interpretation by all methods.

Spuriously Elevated HbA1c Result
Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) is routinely used test to monitor long term glycaemic control in diabetic patients. It is well known that genetic variants and chemically modified derivatives of haemoglobin can profoundly affect the accuracy of HbA1c measurements. The degree of interference depends on the HbA1c assay method, type & quantum of haemoglobin variant present in a given sample. Here,...
متن کاملSELF ASSESSMENT ANSWERS Low HbA1c levels in a poorly controlled diabetic
Q3: What is the pathophysiological basis of the discrepancies observed and how would you assess this man’s long term glycaemic control? Non-enzymatic binding of glucose to the valine residue of the beta chain of the haemoglobin molecule gives rise to glycated haemoglobin (HbA1a, HbA1b, and HbA1c). The level of HbA1c reflects ambient blood sugar concentrations during the life span of the patient...
متن کاملLabile glycated haemoglobin and carbamylated haemoglobin are still critical points for HbA1c measurement
INTRODUCTION Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a key analyte for the monitoring of glycemic balance in diabetic patients and is used for diabetes diagnosis in many countries. The potential interference of carbamylated haemoglobin (cHb) and labile glycated haemoglobin (LA1c) on HbA1c assays must remain a matter of vigilance. Such a situation has occurred in our laboratory with a kit replacement on the ...
متن کاملVery low HbA1C, is it a problem?
Dear Editor An important problem to manage diabetes mellitus is controlling the patients` blood glucose. Fluctuation of blood glucose results in molecular biochemistry change and can result in unwanted diabetic complications (1). In clinical practice, hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) is a common useful laboratory test to follow-up patients with diabetes (2). Sometimes, an unexpecte...
