Overview

Glycosylated (or glycated) hemoglobin (hemoglobin A1c, Hb1c , or HbA1c) is a form of hemoglobin used primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. Its name is sometimes abbreviated to A1C. It is formed in a non-enzymatic pathway by hemoglobin’s normal exposure to high plasma levels of glucose. Glycosylation of hemoglobin has been implicated in nephropathy and retinopathy in diabetes mellitus. Monitoring the HbA1c in type-1 diabetic patients may improve treatment.[1]

Historical Perspective

Hemoglobin A1c was first separated from other forms of hemoglobin by Huisman and Meyering in 1958 using a chromatographic column.[2] It was first characterized as a glycoprotein by Bookchin and Gallop in 1968. [3] Its increase in diabetes was first described in 1969 by Samuel Rahbar and coworkers[4] The reactions leading to its formation were characterized by Bunn and his co-workers in 1975.[5]
The use of hemoglobin A1c for monitoring the degree of control of glucose metabolism in diabetic patients was proposed in 1976 by Koenig and coworkers.[6]

Pathophysiology

In the normal 120-day life span of the red blood cell, glucose molecules join hemoglobin, forming glycated hemoglobin. In individuals with poorly controlled diabetes, increases in the quantities of these glycated hemoglobins are noted. Once a hemoglobin molecule is glycated, it remains that way. A buildup of glycated hemoglobin within the red cell reflects the average level of glucose to which the cell has been exposed during its life cycle. Measuring glycated hemoglobin assesses the effectiveness of therapy by monitoring long-term serum glucose regulation. The HbA1c level is proportional to average blood glucose concentration over the previous four weeks to three months. Some researchers state that the major proportion of its value is related to a rather short term period of two to four weeks.[7]

Point-of-care measurement

The benefits of point-of-care testing have been reviewed[8].

Most[9][10][11][12], but not all[13] studies find that point-of-care testing improves diabetic control.

Point-of-care testing improves patient satisfaction[14].

Point-of-care testing is calculated to be cost-effective[15].

Interpretation of Results

Laboratory results may differ depending on the analytical technique, the age of the subject, and biological variation among individuals. Two individuals with the same average blood sugar can have A1C values that differ by as much as 1 percentage point.[16] In general, the reference range (that found in healthy persons), is about 4%–5.9%.[17]

Higher levels of HbA1c are found in people with persistently elevated blood sugar, as in diabetes mellitus. While diabetic patient treatment goals vary, many include a target range of HbA1c values. A diabetic person with good glucose control has a HbA1c level that is close to or within the reference range. The International Diabetes Federation and American College of Endocrinology recommend HbA1c values below 6.5%, while American Diabetes Association recommends that the HbA1c be below 7.0% for most patients. A high HbA1c represents poor glucose control. Persistent elevations in blood sugar (and therefore HbA1c) increase the risk for the long-term vascular complications of diabetes such as coronary disease, heart attack, stroke, heart failure, kidney failure, blindness, erectile dysfunction, neuropathy (loss of sensation, especially in the feet), gangrene, and gastroparesis (slowed emptying of the stomach). Poor blood glucose control also increases the risk of short-term complications of surgery such as poor wound healing.

Lower than expected levels of HbA1c can be seen in people with shortened red blood cell life span, such as with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, sickle-cell disease, or any other condition causing premature red blood cell death. Conversely, higher than expected levels can be seen in people with a longer red blood cell life span, such as with Vitamin B12 or folate deficiency.

The approximate mapping between HbA1c values and average blood glucose measurements over the previous 4-12 weeks is shown in the table.[18]

Indications

Glycosylated hemoglobin is recommended for both

  • Checking blood sugar control in people who might be pre-diabetic and
  • Monitoring blood sugar control in patients with more elevated levels, termed diabetes mellitus.

For a single blood sample, it provides far more diagnostic information regarding glycemic behavior than a fasting blood sugar value. That being said, fasting blood sugar tests are crucial in making treatment decisions. The American Diabetes Association guidelines are similar to others in advising that the glycosylated hemoglobin test be performed at least two times a year in patients with diabetes who are meeting treatment goals (and who have stable glycemic control) and quarterly in patients with diabetes whose therapy has changed or who are not meeting glycemic goals.[19]

Limitations

Changes in Diet and Treatment

Glycosylated hemoglobin measurement is not appropriate where there has been a change in diet or treatment within 6 weeks.

Abnormalities in Hemoglobin and Red Blood Cell Production

Likewise the test assumes a normal red blood cell aging process and mix of hemoglobin subtypes (predominantly HbA in normal adults). Hence people with recent blood loss or hemolytic anemia, or genetic differences in the hemoglobin molecule (hemoglobinopathy) such as sickle cell disease and other conditions are not suitable for this test. The alternative fructosamine test may be used in these circumstances and it similarly reflects an average of blood glucose levels over the preceding 2 to 3 weeks.

Variability Across Laboratories

There is variation among laboratories and a lack of consensus on a diagnostic threshold for glycosolated hemoglobin. For these and other reasons, no medical organization recommends the use of this test alone to diagnose diabetes. Instead, fasting plasma glucose or an oral glucose tolerance test are used.

Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) for the diagnosis of diabetes – Use of Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) in the Diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus

Recommendation

HbA1c can be used as a diagnostic test for diabetes providing that stringent quality assurance tests are in place and assays are standardised to criteria aligned to the international reference values, and there are no conditions present which preclude its accurate measurement.

An HbA1c of 6.5% is recommended as the cut point for diagnosing diabetes. A value of less than 6.5% does not exclude diabetes diagnosed using glucose tests.

Quality of evidence assessed by GRADE: moderate

Strength of recommendation based on GRADE criteria: conditional

Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) was initially identified as an “unusual” haemoglobin in patients with diabetes over 40 years ago (12). After that discovery, numerous small studies were conducted correlating it to glucose measurements resulting in the idea that HbA1c could be used as an objective measure of glycaemic control. The A1C-Derived Average Glucose (ADAG) study included 643 participants representing a range of A1C levels. It established a validated relationship between A1C and average glucose across a range of diabetes types and patient populations (13). HbA1c was introduced into clinical use in the 1980s and subsequently has become a cornerstone of clinical practice (14).

HbA1c reflects average plasma glucose over the previous eight to 12 weeks (15). It can be performed at any time of the day and does not require any special preparation such as fasting. These properties have made it the preferred test for assessing glycaemic control in people with diabetes. More recently, there has been substantial interest in using it as a diagnostic test for diabetes and as a screening test for persons at high risk of diabetes (16).

Owing in large part to the inconvenience of measuring fasting plasma glucose levels or performing an OGTT, and day-to-day variability in glucose, an alternative to glucose measurements for the diagnosis of diabetes has long been sought. HbA1c has now been recommended by an International Committee and by the ADA as a means to diagnose diabetes (16). Although it gives equal or almost equal sensitivity and specificity to a fasting or post-load glucose measurement as a predictor of prevalent retinopathy (17), it is not available in many parts of the world. Also, many people identified as having diabetes based on HbA1c will not have diabetes by direct glucose measurement and vice versa.

The relationship between HbA1c and prevalent retinopathy is similar to that of plasma glucose, whether glucose and HbA1c are plotted in deciles (18), in vigintiles () or as continuous variables (). This relationship was originally reported in the Pima Indians (19) and has also been observed in several other populations including Egyptians (20), the NHANES study in the USA (21),, in Japanese (22) and more recently in the DETECT-2 analysis ( and ). Overall, the performance of HbA1c has been similar to that of fasting or 2-h plasma glucose. For all three measures of glycaemia, the value above which the prevalence of retinopathy begins to rise rapidly has differed to some extent between studies. Although HbA1c gives equal or almost equal sensitivity and specificity to glucose measurement as a predictor of prevalent retinopathy, it is not available in many parts of the world and in general, it is not known which is the better for predicting microvascular complications.

Figure 1

Figure 2

Prevalence of retinopathy by 0.5 mmol/L intervals for FPG and 2-h PG and by 0.5% intervals for HbA1c for any retinopathy and diabetes-specific retinopathy (≥ moderate NPDR) from DETECT-2.

It is unclear whether HbA1c or blood glucose is better for predicting the development of retinopathy, but a recent report from Australia has shown that a model including HbA1c for predicting incident retinopathy is as good as or possibly better than one including fasting plasma glucose (23).

The use of HbA1c can avoid the problem of day-to-day variability of glucose values, and importantly it avoids the need for the person to fast and to have preceding dietary preparations. These advantages have implications for early identification and treatment which have been strongly advocated in recent years.

However, HbA1c may be affected by a variety of genetic, haematologic and illness-related factors (Annex 1) (24). The most common important factors worldwide affecting HbA1c levels are haemoglobinopathies (depending on the assay employed), certain anaemias, and disorders associated with accelerated red cell turnover such as malaria (16;25).

The utility and convenience of HbA1c compared with measures of plasma glucose for the diagnosis of diabetes needs to be balanced against the fact that it is unavailable in many countries, despite being a recognized valuable tool in diabetes management. In addition the HbA1c assay is not currently well enough standardized in many countries for its use to be recommended universally at this time. However, there will be countries where optimal circumstances already exist for its use. Factors influencing HbA1c assays are presented in Annex 2 and 3.

There are aspects of the measurement of HbA1c that are problematic. Although in some laboratories the precision of HbA1c measurement is similar to that of plasma glucose, global consistency with both assays remains a problem (16). Whether it is the glucose or HbA1c assay that is used, consistent and comparable data that meet international standards are required. This is starting to happen in many countries but obviously is still not standard across the world. Within any country, it is axiomatic that results for glucose and HbA1c should be consistent between laboratories.

The National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP) (26) was established following the completion of the Diabetes Complications and Control Trial (DCCT). For many years it was the sole basis for improved harmonization of HbA1c assays. More recently the International Federation of Clinical Chemists (IFCC) established a working group on HbA1c in an attempt to introduce an international standardization program (27). An important part of this effort was establishment of reference method procedures for HbA1c. Currently, both the NGSP and the IFCC base their evaluations on reference method procedures that have further enhanced the harmonization of HbA1c assays across manufacturers. Finally in the USA, the College of American Pathologists (CAP) has mandated more stringent criteria for individual assays to match assigned values for materials provided in the CAP proficiency programme (28).

A further major factor concerns costs and availability of HbA1c assays in many countries. Also, the situation in several of these countries will be exacerbated by high prevalences of conditions such as haemoglobinopathies, which affect HbA1c measurement, as discussed earlier.

A report published in 2009 by an International Expert Committee on the role of HbA1c in the diagnosis of diabetes recommended that HbA1c can be used to diagnose diabetes and that the diagnosis can be made if the HbA1c level is ≥6.5%(16). Diagnosis should be confirmed with a repeat HbA1c test, unless clinical symptoms and plasma glucose levels >11.1mmol/l (200 mg/dl) are present in which case further testing is not required. Levels of HbA1c just below 6.5% may indicate the presence of intermediate hyperglycaemia. The precise lower cut-off point for this has yet to be defined, although the ADA has suggested 5.7 – 6.4% as the high risk range (29). While recognizing the continuum of risk that may be captured by the HbA1c assay, the International Expert Committee recommended that persons with a HbA1c level between 6. 0 and 6.5% were at particularly high risk and might be considered for diabetes prevention interventions.

The WHO consultation reviewed the evidence on the relationship between HbA1c and prevalent and incident microvascular complications presented in the systematic review. and show HbA1c and glucose cut-off points associated with prevalent and incident microvascular complications in available studies. GRADE tables of evidence are presented in and . In view of the above and of the advances in technology over recent years, members of the consultation agreed that HbA1c may be used to diagnose diabetes providing that appropriate conditions apply, i.e. standardized assay, low coefficient of variability, and calibration against IFCC standards. Furthermore, each country should decide whether it is appropriate for its own circumstances. The choice of diagnostic method will depend on local considerations such as cost, availability of equipment, population characteristics, presence of a national quality assurance system etc. Policy-makers are advised to ensure that accurate blood glucose measurement be generally available at the primary health care level, before introducing HbA1c measurement as a diagnostic test. The consultation concluded that there is insufficient evidence to make any formal recommendation on the interpretation of HbA1c levels below 6.5%.

Long term prospective studies are required in all major ethnic groups to establish more precisely the glucose and HbA1c levels predictive of microvascular and macrovascular complications. A working group should be established to examine all aspects of HbA1c and glucose measurement methodology.

The diagnosis of diabetes in an asymptomatic person should not be made on the basis of a single abnormal plasma glucose or HbA1c value. At least one additional HbA1c or plasma glucose test result with a value in the diabetic range is required, either fasting, from a random (casual) sample, or from the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). The diagnosis should be made by the best technology available, avoiding blood glucose monitoring meters and single-use HbA1c test kits (except where this is the only option available or where there is a stringent quality assurance programme in place).

It is advisable to use one test or the other but if both glucose and HbA1c are measured and both are “diagnostic” then the diagnosis is made. If one only is abnormal then a further abnormal test result, using the same method, is required to confirm the diagnosis.

More and more asymptomatic subjects are being detected as a result of screening programmes so that diagnostic certainty is paramount. If such tests fail to confirm the diagnosis of diabetes, it will usually be advisable to maintain surveillance with periodic re–testing until the glycaemic status becomes clear.

Glycated hemoglobin – what is this analysis and why is it needed? –

It is also glycosylated hemoglobin, abbreviated as HbA1c.

Hemoglobin is a substance found in erythrocytes – blood cells – and is responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to all cells of the body. Many substances are dissolved in the blood plasma, including glucose (its content is shown by a blood test for sugar). A small part of glucose reacts with hemoglobin, joining it – this is how glycated hemoglobin is formed. This process is irreversible, goes without the participation of enzymes, the amount of glycated hemoglobin formed depends only on the concentration of glucose in the blood. Erythrocytes in the blood live on average for about 2-3 months. Thus, according to the content of glycated hemoglobin, one can fairly accurately judge the level of sugar in the blood in the previous 2-3 months.

Why check glycated hemoglobin when you can just measure blood sugar?

Blood sugar is not a constant value, it changes all the time. In the morning after an overnight fast, blood sugar is low, after eating it rises sharply, then gradually decreases. By determining fasting blood sugar, we only know sugar at a particular moment, but we do not know anything about its daily fluctuations. In patients with diabetes mellitus with poorly selected therapy or with a gross violation of the diet, blood sugar can change by 15-20 mmol / l during the day!

The level of glycated hemoglobin reflects all these sugar fluctuations. If a patient with diabetes rarely measures his blood sugar, then the level of glycated hemoglobin, the doctor can judge how high the average sugar level in this person was in the last 2-3 months. Often, a blood test for glycated hemoglobin helps the doctor decide whether to change the treatment regimen for a patient with diabetes.

A blood test for glycated hemoglobin is important in diagnosing diabetes mellitus. At the beginning of the disease, it often happens that fasting blood sugar remains within the normal range, but sugar after eating rises significantly, which the person does not know about. An elevated level of glycated hemoglobin in this situation will tell the doctor that an additional examination should be prescribed and help identify the disease.

Who needs a blood test for glycated hemoglobin?

  • Patients with diabetes 1 time in 3 months
  • Pregnant women diagnosed with diabetes during pregnancy
  • Obese people, especially in combination with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes in immediate family .
  • Women with polycystic ovary syndrome,
  • If a slightly elevated blood sugar (above 6.0 mmol/l) is found in the tests.

How to understand the results of the analysis?

The normal value of glycated hemoglobin is 4-6%.

A reading of 6.5% or more means you are more likely to have diabetes. To make a diagnosis, you need to take blood tests for fasting sugar and after eating.

6.0-6.5% – typical for prediabetes, in this case it is better to conduct an additional examination – a sugar curve.

There are a number of situations where a blood test for glycated hemoglobin is not informative. This happens with anemia of various origins, after blood transfusions. In the onset of type 1 diabetes, sometimes developing very quickly, glycated hemoglobin does not have time to rise despite a very high blood sugar level.

For patients with diabetes glycated hemoglobin norms are different. The target value is determined individually by the attending physician, it depends on the age of the patient, the presence of severe complications of diabetes. Most people with diabetes are advised to keep their glycated hemoglobin below 7.0%. For young patients without severe complications and without severe hypoglycemia, stricter control is recommended – glycated hemoglobin is not higher than 6. 5%. For elderly patients, patients with severe complications of diabetes or severe comorbidities, the target level is considered to be 7.5%.
