BACKGROUND: Anemia is known to cause spurious hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) results. The
effect of menstruation on HbA1c was tested by correlating it to FPG in non-anemic …

12.2%. HbA1C, HbF, and HbF1 [a mixture of glycated and acetylated HbF (1) 1 in each
sample were analyzed by using a monodisperse strong cationexchanger column, Mono S …

Background The potential effect of increase in hemoglobin (Hb) A2 and HbF on glycated
hemoglobin (HbA1c) measurements were investigated using a high-performance liquid …

Background Anemia is a common disorder among pregnant women; however, the effect of
anemia on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels has not been adequately explored. We aim to …

Glycation is the process by which a monosaccharide, most commonly glucose, attaches
nonenzymatically to a protein. Hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) 3 forms when hemoglobin is …

BACKGROUND: Glycosylated hemoglobin evaluation is very important for assessing the
control of diabetes. Since the use of point-of-care (POC) devices for monitoring HbA1c is …

The variation of a biological measurand can be expressed in the units of the measured
concentrations or as a percentage of the absolute variation relative to the mean …

Two very interesting articles on hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) 2 method performance appear in
this issue of Clinical Chemistry. Woodworth et al.(1) use Hb A1c as an example of how the …

Introduction: Hemoglobin A1c (HbAlc) values are influenced by analytical interferences such
as HbF and hemoglobin variants and clinical factors such as increased red cell turnover …
