Abstract

Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) nowadays used as a prognostic and diagnostic marker for glycaemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus. For estimation of HbA1c, preferred sample type is whole blood collected in vacutainer containing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as anticoagulant. Sodium fluoride tubes can also be used as an alternative for estimation of HbA1c. Hence, by using fluoride vacutainer we can analyze both blood sugar and glycated hemoglobin.

Sodyum floridly içinde kan alımı glikolize hemoglobin örneği tahmini: Daha iyi bir seçenek

Abstract

Glikolize hemoglobin (HbA1c) diabetes mellituslu hastalarda şimdilerde bir öngördürücü ve tanısal belirteç olarak kullanılmaktadır. HbA1c ölçümü için tercih edilen örnek alımı EDTA içeren tam kan örneğidir. Sodyum florid tüpleri de HbA1c tayini için alternative bir yöntem olarak kullanılabilir. Böylece sodium florlü tüpler ile hem kan şekeri hem de glikolize hemoglobin ölçülebilir.
