Glycosylated haemoglobin and glucose intolerance in cystic fibrosis.

Investigation of Screening Methods for Impaired Glucose Control in Children with Cystic Fibrosis

The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) used for the diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis Related Diabetes (CFRD) is inconvenient and requires a great deal of patient cooperation. Other investigations such as measuring fasting glucose and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) concentrations, could offer several practical advantages over the OGTT for diabetic screening. To investigate the ability of these tes...

HLA type, islet cell antibodies, and glucose intolerance in cystic fibrosis.

Impaired glucose tolerance, assessed by a raised glycated haemoglobin (HbA1) concentration, was found in 24 (39%) out of 61 patients with cystic fibrosis with an age range of 1-23 years. No correlation between age and HbA1 concentration was found indicating that factors other than progressive pancreatic fibrosis may be important in the aetiology. HLA typing, islet cell antibodies, and autoantib...

هموگلوبین‌ گلیکوزیله‌ در بیماران‌ مبتلا به‌ پرفشاری خون‌ اولیه‌

Introduction: In this study, we compared the level of glycosylated haemoglobin in patients with essential hypertension and healthy controls.Method: 70 non-diabetic patients with essential hypertension were recruited into the study along with 140 controls without any significant medical history. Persons with a history of metabolic disease, anaemia, renal disease, splenectomy, pregnancy, or on me...

Glucose tolerance in cystic fibrosis.

Glucose tolerance was evaluated in 356 living and dead patients with cystic fibrosis who were recorded at the Danish Cystic Fibrosis Centre. Twenty two patients (6%) were treated elsewhere, 25 (7%) were unable, unwilling or too young (age less than 2 years) to participate; 309 patients (87%) were therefore eligible for the study of whom 99 (32%) were dead and 210 (68%) were alive. Of the dead p...
