Abstract

Glycohemoglobin (GHB), reported as hemoglobin (Hb) A(1c), is a marker of long-term glycemic control in patients with diabetes and is directly related to risk for diabetic complications. HbE and HbD are the second and fourth most common Hb variants worldwide. We investigated the accuracy of HbA(1c) measurement in the presence of HbE and/or HbD traits.
