The effects of microcytic hypochromic anemia on HBA1C in non-diabetics
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Background: Hemoglobin A1c reflects patient’s glycemic status over previous 3 months. Iron deficiency anemia elevates hbA1c concentration independent of glycemia. This study aim to analyze effect of microcytic hypochromic anemia on HB1C in non-diabetic. Inclusion Criteria Males and females,18 – 60 year age group, Microcytic and hypochromic anemic patients, Non diabetics. Exclusion Criteria Below 18 years and above 60 years, Known diabetics, Anemia other than microcytic hypochromic, Patients with heamoglobinpathies and haemolytic anemia, History of acute or chronic blood loss, Acute renal failure & chronic renal failure patients, Pregnant females, History of chronic alcoholism. Aims & Objectives: The study aimed to find the co relation between microcytic hypochromic anemia and glycosylated hemoglobin and to exercise caution while using HbA1C levels to diagnose diabetes in patients who have microcytic hypochromic anemia. Material & Methods: The study was conducted at MGM Hospital Kamothe over a period of two years with 50 patients and 50 control group which include all non-anemic, non-diabetic individuals. HbA1c was compared in the anaemic group vs. non-anaemic control group Results: The study established that HbA1c was significantly raised in anemic individuals, hence it is imperative to watch for anemia or to avoid using HbA1c altogether as a diagnostic or prognostic test for diabetes in anemic patients. The study establishes HbA1c is raised in individuals with microcytic hypochromic anemia. In anemic individuals novels markers like glycated albumin and frcutosamine may be used as an alternative to HbA1c.
