Abstract

Worldwide, measurement of glycated haemoglobin (HbA(1c)) is the mainstay for monitoring long-term glycaemic control in people with diabetes mellitus. However, until recently there was no internationally agreed standard for measuring and reporting HbA(1c) levels. There is now an international standard for HbA(1c), agreed by the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC), and from 1 June 2009 all UK laboratories began reporting HbA(1c) in the new units according to this standard. Here we explain the rationale behind this change.

摘要

在全球范围内，糖化血红蛋白（HbA(1c)）的测量是监测糖尿病患者长期血糖控制的主要手段。然而，直到最近，对于测量和报告HbA(1c)水平还没有国际公认的标准。现在有了一个由国际临床化学联合会（IFCC）认可的HbA(1c)国际标准，从2009年6月1日起，英国所有实验室开始按照这个标准以新单位报告HbA(1c)。在此，我们解释这一变化背后的基本原理。
