Did you know that elevated fetal (HbF) can interfere with HbA1c measurements, potentially leading to mismanagement of diabetes?
Non-separative technologies may fail to detect elevated HbF, which can have serious clinical implications:
🔹 Inaccurate HbA1c Results – Falsely low HbA1c readings can mislead providers about a patient’s glycemic control.
🔹 Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis – Incorrect readings may delay necessary interventions.
🔹 Inappropriate Treatment Decisions – Patients might receive inadequate therapy, increasing the risk of complications.
🔹 Patient Safety Concerns – Reliable HbA1c results are critical for optimal care.
Using separative methods like HPLC ensures accurate detection of elevated HbF, supporting precise HbA1c measurements and better diabetes management.
How do you ensure accuracy in HbA1c testing? Let’s discuss. 👇
