On January 31, Jennifer Powers Carson, PhD published an article with AACC Academy, titled “Glycated Albumin – What do laboratorians need to know to be ready for this testing?”
It is evident that there is a need for more translational studies on glycated albumin (GA) to determine whether it offers improvements to diabetic care, and that laboratorians should be aware of preanalytical factors and analytical concerns to maintain study consistency.
Throughout the article, Powers Carson discusses methods of measuring GA, substances that can interfere with it, and factors that may play a role in interpreting % GA.
