Pathology consultation on HbA(1c) methods and interferences.
American journal of clinical pathology(2014)
摘要
OBJECTIVES:To review the various hemoglobin (Hb) A1c methods, with a focus on interferences resulting from Hb variants.
METHODS:HbA1c is a marker used for the diagnosis and management of diabetes. Each available HbA1c method has advantages and challenges, such as its susceptibility to interferences.
RESULTS:The presence of Hb variants and/or abnormalities in RBC turnover cannot only interfere analytically with HbA1c measurements but also may affect the clinical interpretation of HbA1c values.
CONCLUSIONS:Familiarity with the advantages and challenges of the various methods used for HbA1c testing is essential when establishing therapeutic management and goals based on HbA1c results, especially in populations with a high prevalence of Hb variants.
