[Determination of glycosylated hemoglobin using affinity chromatography. A comparison of methods].

The determination of glycated hemoglobin is used to judge the quality of adjustment in diabetic diagnostics as this value best represents the mean concentration of blood glucose of recent weeks. At the moment several methods for the determination of glycated hemoglobin are available. A new method is the microcolumn affinity chromatography which proved to be very practicable in our investigations. This paper presents results concerning precision, correlations with other methods, possible interferences and concordance.
