METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE GLYCOSYLATED HEMOGLOBIN CONTENT FOR THE LONG TERM CONTROL OF THE BLOOD SUGAR PROFILE

摘要

An improved process for determining glycosylated hemoglobin wherein the contribution of unstable glucose-aldimine-hemoglobin compounds to the HbA1 value is substantially eliminated by reacting the hemolysate with a primary amine and a hydrazine compound and thereafter subjecting the hemolysate to chromatography. The process enables reliable evaluation of the HbA1 value as a long-term parameter in diabetic metabolism control.
