Sickle cell trait & other hemoglobinopathies & diabetes (for providers) the hemoglobin a1c (a1c) test can be unreliable for diagnosing or monitoring diabetes and prediabetes in people with inherited hemoglobin variants, also called hemoglobinopathies.. Hemoglobinopathy (results in abnormal hemoglobin) thalassemia (lower production of functional hemoglobin) depending on the abnormal form of hemoglobin, hemoglobinopathy can result in either increased or decreased a1c values. thalassemia can misleadingly lower a1c values due to early destruction of red blood cells.. Effect of hemoglobinopathy on a1c. jan24. hemoglobinopathies affect hemoglobin a1c measurements. ann. falsely elevated hemoglobin a1c due to s- hemoglobinopathy analysis showed a effect of sickle cell trait and b-thalassemia minor on determinations of hba1c..

A variety of patient- and laboratory-related factors can adversely affect the measurement of hba1c in patients harboring hb variants or derivatives. in this article, problem of using hemoglobin a1c measurement in endemic area of hemoglobinopathy is addressed..
Hemoglobinopathy and interference with a1c assessment. a1c represents the main fraction of hemoglobin bound to glucose (glycohemoglobin) and is normally present at. hemoglobinopathies (hemoglobin disorders) hemoglobin is produced by genes that control the expression of the hemoglobin protein. defects in these genes can produce.. Hemoglobinopathy and interference with a1c assessment a1c represents the main fraction of hemoglobin bound to glucose (glyco-hemoglobin) and is normally present 115,10,14–20,22,23 met the cri-teria for c level of evidence; only 121 should be evaluated using an alter-was multi-site and clearly reported.
