Hemoglobin C, D Punjab, E or S trait can interfere with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) results depending on the method of analysis used. Therefore, it is important to know the limitations of the method used for HbA1c determination.
The EurA1c trial, organized yearly, investigates the performance of HbA1c assays across countries and manufacturers.
A comparative study confirms that Sebia's CAPILLARYS 3 OCTA® delivers highly concordant HbA1c results with HPLC technology, supporting reliable diabetes monitoring and laboratory workflow continuity.
This article reminds the reader of the importance of detecting the Hb variants when measuring HbA1c for the labs and clinicians to better interpret the results and to ensure optimal management of the diabetic patient.
