Abstract
La estandarización de la hemoglobina A1c (HbA1c) permitió
en algunos países su uso para el diagnóstico de la diabetes
mellitus (DM) y la prediabetes, además de su empleo en el
seguimiento del paciente con DM. Es importante recordar que
se trata de una medida indirecta del promedio glucémico du-
rante el tiempo de vida media del eritrocito, pudiendo verse
afectada por variables no glucémicas, como también por in-
terferencias analíticas según la metodología empleada para su
determinación.
A continuación, se describen las recomendaciones y conside-
raciones a tener en cuenta para la determinación de la HbA1c
cuando se emplea como criterio diagnóstico de la DM, tenien-
do en cuenta que al utilizarla para tal fin es necesario que la
medida se realice con métodos certificados y estandarizados
al ensayo utilizado en el Diabetes Control and Complications
Trial (DCCT).
The standardization of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) allowed in some countries its use for the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (DM) and prediabetes, in addition to its use in the follow-up of patients with DM. It is important to highlight that it is an indirect measurement of the glycemic average during the half- life of the erythrocyte, and may be affected by non-glycemic variables, as well as by analytical interferences depending on the methodology used for its determination. The recommendations and considerations to take into account for the determination of HbA1c when it is used as a diagnostic criterion for diabetes are described below. In addition, it is im- portant to emphasize that it is essential that the HbA1c measu- rement be performed with certified and standardized methods to the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT)results.
