Term info

definition

A quantification of glycated A1c hemoglobin in blood used as an index for blood glucose level over several months.

editor note

Glycated hemoglobin is preferred over glycosylated hemoglobin to reflect the correct (non-enyzmatic) process. Early literature often used glycosylated as it was unclear which process was involved until further research was performed. The terms are still sometimes used interchangeably in English language literature. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycated_hemoglobin)
