BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the associations between glycemic biomarkers (hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c], fructosamine, and glycated albumin [GA]) in Korean adults. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed data for HbA1c, fructosamine, and glycated albumin between August 28, 2017, and June 30, 2020, to investigate the association between HbA1c and fructosamine and between HbA1c and GA. RESULTS Overall, 961 fructosamine and 142 GA tests concurrently measured HbA1c. The equations were HbA1c (%) = 0.0175 x fructosamine (µmol/L) + 1.6255 and HbA1c (%) = 0.2029 x GA + 2.8102, respectively. The absolute difference between estimated and measured HbA1c ranged from -3.4% to 2.1% HbA1c with the fructosamine equation and -3.2% to 2.8% HbA1c with the GA equation. CONCLUSIONS Fructosamine and GA may be useful adjuncts to HbA1c in Korean patients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006442 Glycated Hemoglobin Products of non-enzymatic reactions between GLUCOSE and HEMOGLOBIN (occurring as a minor fraction of the hemoglobin of ERYTHROCYTES.) It generally refers to glycated HEMOGLOBIN A. Hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) is hemoglobin A with GLYCATION on a terminal VALINE of the beta chain. Glycated hemoglobin A is used as an index of the average blood sugar level over a lifetime of erythrocytes.

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D017127 Glycation End Products, Advanced A heterogeneous group of compounds derived from rearrangements, oxidation, and cross-linking reactions that follow from non-enzymatic glycation of amino groups in PROTEINS; LIPIDS; or NUCLEIC ACIDS. Their accumulation in vivo accelerates under hyperglycemic, oxidative, or inflammatory conditions. Heat also accelerates the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) such seen with the browning of food during cooking.
