Significance of the measurement of serum fructosamine in the management of childhood diabetes

چکیده
Aims HbA1c can usually be used as the indicator of glucose control and correlated with the development of long-term diabetic complications. But there are limits that it usually reflects the mean glucose levels of 2-3 months and can be variable in the situation of hemoglobinopathy or the conditions of altered RBC lifespan. In contrast, serum fructosamine levels reflect the mean glucose levels of 23 weeks. This study was designed to see the significance of the measurement of serum fructosamine in the management of childhood diabetes and to see the correlation between the HbA1c and fructosamine.

Abstract Background and Objective: Diabetes mellitus is one of complications that thalassemia major patients face with. Hence, blood glucose monitoring is of vital importance to these patients. Because of high level of fetal hemoglobin in these patients, the measurement of hemoglobin A1c is not reliable and should be displaced by fructosamine test. Material and Methods: The current descr...
متن کاملClinical usefulness of the measurement of serum fructosamine in childhood diabetes mellitus
PURPOSE Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is often used as an indicator of glucose control. It usually reflects the average glucose levels over two to three months, and is correlated with the development of long-term diabetic complications. However, it can vary in cases of hemoglobinopathy or an altered red blood cell lifespan. The serum fructosamine levels reflect the mean glucose levels over tw...

Clinical evidence has revealed the association between complications Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and serum glycemic control. Thus, evaluation of the glycemic control status is crucial in the management of DM. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is the most common method for monitoring serum glycemic control. However, several confounding factors including red blood cell lifespan and hemoglobinopathies can affect ...
متن کاملSerum fructosamine and glycated haemoglobin measurements in diabetic control.
Serum fructosamine and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1) were measured in capillary samples from diabetic children and compared with samples from non-diabetic children. Glycaemic control was assessed clinically and by average daily glucose values recorded by home monitoring. Fructosamine correlated with HbA1 and with average glucose values measured over 30 days. HbA1 also correlated with average gluc...
