Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and glycated albumin (GA) are frequently used as glycemic control markers. These markers influenced by either altered metabolism or metabolism. We investigated the correlation between HbA1c GA collecting only data that had not been affected turnover of proposed a novel equation for accurately estimating extrapolated (eHbA1c) value based on value. Data sets total 2461 occasions were obtained from 731 patients (including non-diabetes patients) whose values simultaneously measured. undergoing hemodialysis, with hematological malignancies, pregnancy, chronic liver diseases, hyperthyroidism, steroid treatment blood transfusion during past 3 months, without albumin, hemoglobin, eGFR, urinary protein measurements an eGFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2, level 10 mg/dL, below 3.0 g/mL, 3+ excluded. Finally, we selected 284 sets. then analyzed these sets, performed scatter plot to examine GA, established describing resulting correlation. Based all points, was = 0.216 × + 2.978 [R2 0.5882, P < 0.001].
