Test Summary

The HbA1c assay is used as an aid in the monitoring of long-term blood glucose control and compliance in individuals with diabetes mellitus. The HbA1c assay is used for the measurement of the concentration of HbA1 c relative to the concentration of the total hemoglobin (THb). An increase in the percentage of HbA1 c has been found in individuals diagnosed with diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to acute complications of hyperglycemia and ketosis. In addition, long-term complications such as cardiovascular disease, retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy can occur. According to several studies, including the findings of diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), these complications can be prevented by long-term control of diabetes. Therefore, measurement of HbA1c percentage can be invaluable in the monitoring of long-term glycemic control of diabetic patients. The HbA1c assay has no cross reactivity with labile HbA1c since the antibody used in this assay is specific for the ketoamine form of HbA1c. Stable HbA1c does not increase or decrease in response to rapid changes in physiological factors and therefore allows the measurement of individuals’ average blood glucose levels over several months.
