GHB – GLYCATED HAEMOGLOBIN

Glycohemoglobin (GHb) serves as a comprehensive term encompassing the intricate interactions between glucose and the alpha and beta chains of human hemoglobin within whole blood. The predominant form within this spectrum is HbA1c, a complex resulting from the non-enzymatic binding of glucose to the N-terminus of the alpha chain. This molecular interplay is not just a biochemical process; it serves as a reflective account of an individual’s average blood glucose levels over an extended period. The protracted life span of red blood cells, lasting 2-3 months, adds a temporal dimension to HbA1c measurements. Consequently, HbA1c stands as a nuanced and reliable indicator, offering retrospective insights into the average blood glucose landscape spanning the past 2-4 months. In the context of diabetes monitoring, HbA1c emerges as a pivotal metric, encapsulating a narrative of glycemic control that transcends the transient fluctuations observed in daily glucose levels—essential information for Hypro Diagnostics’ focus on diagnostic precision.
