Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of anemia in India. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is used in diabetic patients as an index of glycemic control reflecting glucose levels of the previous 3 months. Like blood sugar levels, HbA1c levels are also affected by the presence of variant hemoglobins, hemolytic anemias, nutritional anemias, uremia, pregnancy, and acute blood loss. Previous studies suggest that iron deficiency anemia (IDA) affects the levels of HbA1c.We conducted study to analyze the effect of iron deficiency anemia on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in non diabetic Indians. Methods: 30 randomly selected non-diabetic patients with confirmed iron deficiency anemia will be compared with 30 randomly selected cases without diabetes and without Iron deficiency anemia healthy adults.
