Recent Advances in Glycosylated Hemoglobin Measurements

Abstract: Glycosylated hemoglobins have gained wide acceptance as an accurate index of long-term blood glucose control in diabetes mellitus. A variety of glycosylated hemoglobin assays is available. There is a high degree of correlation between results determined by these assays. The ideal laboratory method for measuring glycosylated hemoglobin in the diabetic should be accurate, precise, easily standardized, inexpensive, and rapidly performed. Unfortunately, none of the currently used methods meet all of the criteria n… Show more

“…Conversely, HbA1c, the major protein found in erythrocytes, has been used as a clinical diagnostic marker of relatively long-term (∼90 days) glucose control in diabetic patients since the 1970s. 17 With a life span of 120 days, erythrocytes can accumulate relatively high amounts of the Amadori compound, particularly on the cell membrane proteins, which are in close contact with glucose throughout their life cycle. As a result, it is possible that some glycated erythrocyte membrane proteins may provide a more sensitive biomarker of glycemic control.…”

“…Blindness, kidney failure, amputation of the lower limbs, and nerve damage are only some of the major consequences of diabetes. Long periods of hyperglycaemia account for these long-term complications but also hypoglycaemia (blood glucose level below 50 mg/dl) represents a major issue in diabetes therapy since it can cause sudden coma and brain damage [1], [2]. Development of these complications can be prevented or slowed down by controlling the blood glucose level.…”
