Correlation between glycated hemoglobin and mean plasma glucose in hemodialysis patients
2011
Background
Since the half-life of red blood cells (RBCs) is shorter in hemodialysis patients, the value of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) as a marker of glycemic control in patients with diabetes on hemodialysis has recently been questioned. It is thought that it is not a good marker of mean plasma glucose (MPG) over a 3-month duration. In our current study, we evaluate whether monthly HbA1c values is a better marker of glycemic control than HbA1c every 3 months.
