introduction: hemoglobin a1c (hba1c) reflects patient’s glycemic status over the previous 3 months. previous studies have reported that iron deficiency may elevate a1c concentrations, independent of glycemia. this study is aimed to analyze the effect of iron deficiency anemia on hba1c levels in diabetic population having plasma glucose levels in control. methods: totally, 120 diabetic, iron-def...

HIGHLIGHTS The combined use of fasting plasma glucose and hemoglobin A1c test is associated with significantly higher diagnostic rates of prediabetes across age, race/ethnicity, and BMI than using only one test.Combined use of fasting plasma glucose, hemoglobin A1c, and oral glucose tolerance test do not improve the overall and gender-specific prediabetes prevalence beyond what is observed usin...

BACKGROUND Increasing evidence suggests a continuous relationship between blood glucose concentrations and cardiovascular risk, even below diagnostic threshold levels for diabetes. OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between hemoglobin A1c, cardiovascular disease, and total mortality. DESIGN Prospective population study. SETTING Norfolk, United Kingdom. PARTICIPANTS 4662 men and 5570 ...

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) has been accepted as an index of glycemic control since the mid-1970s and is the best marker for diabetic microvascular complications. Clinically, it is now used to assess glycemic control in people with diabetes. Assays are most reliable when certified by the National Hemoglobin Standardization Program but are subject to confounders and effect modifiers, particularly in ...

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) measurements are important for monitoring glycemic control in patients with diabetes. The positive impact of point-of-care HbA1c measurements on patient management is described in the literature. The general analytical requirements for HbA1c testing are described. The analytical evaluation of a new point-of-care HbA1c analyzer, suitable for a physician's office, against t...

Hemoglobin variant carrier status was found in a 46-year-old African American man following detection of a falsely elevated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) by ionexchange high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC, VARIANT A1c, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA). Additional analysis of the hemoglobin variant using the Beta Thal Short program (Bio-Rad) revealed an unknown peak with a retention time of...

Amaç: Diabetes mellitus (DM) tanılı gebelerde glikolize hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) düzeyleri ile gebelikte meydana gelebilecek olan komplikasyonlar arasında ilişki olup olmadığını saptamak.
 Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamız retrospektif vaka-kontrol çalışmasıdır. Ocak 2013 Aralık 2017 tarihleri Aydın Adnan Menderes Üniversitesi hastanesinde yapılmıştır. 321 hasta üzerinde Hastalarda HbA1C düzeyi...

Patients with diabetes have a higher incidence of infection after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) than patients without diabetes. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels are a marker for blood glucose control in diabetic patients. A total of 3468 patients underwent 4241 primary or revision total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty at one institution. Hemoglobin A1c levels were examined to evaluate...
