Abstract:
Since the beginning of clinical use in the 1970s,hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) has become the standard tool for monitoring glycemic control in patients with diabetes.The role of the HbA1c test was broadened in 2010,when the American Diabetes Association added HbA1c as a diagnostic criterion for diabetes.However,hemoglobin variants,various clinical scenarios and drugs may yield false results that would mislead clinical diagnosis and treatment.
