Hemoglobin levels for the diagnosis of polycythemia vera: How high is high enough?doi:10.1016/j.ejim.2025.02.018Ugur KocaUniversity of Health Sciences, Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, Department of Internal Medic
sugar level is higher than it should be but not high enough to qualify as diabetes. If your A1c levels are high enough to indicate either diabetes or prediabetes, but you don’t have symptoms of either, your doctor may order another A1c test on a different day to confirm the diagnosis....
Stage 0: This refers to cancer that is "in situ," meaning that cancerous cells are confined to their site of origin. This type of cancer has not spread and is not invading other tissues. Stage I – Stage III: These higher stages of cancer correspond to larger tumors and/or greater ext...
two α- and β-chains. The globin chains have 140–160amino acidsand their molecular weights are between 15000 and 17000Da. Every globin chain can bind one oxygen molecule. Thus, altogether four oxygen molecules can be bound, meaning that blood with fully oxygen-saturated hemoglobin contains 10...
“Until the reasons for these differences are more clearly defined, reliance on HbA1c as the sole, or even preferred, criterion for the diagnosis of diabetes creates the potential for systematic error and misclassification. HbA1c must be used thoughtfully and in combination with traditional glucose ...
Therefore, there is a critical need for the development of a non-invasive and dependable early diagnostic method for AKI to prevent its progression and deterioration. To address the risk of misdiagnosis or overlooked diagnosis due to reliance on a single biomarker, we developed a novel molecular ...
While the hemoglobin A1c test can be used to diagnose diabetes, doctors do not often rely on the results of just one test to make this diagnosis. Your doctor may order a repeat of your hemoglobin A1c test or compare your results with other tests that have been performed. Your doctor may ...
The best way to control long-term diabetes is to measure gly-cosylated hemoglobin, which is a good tool for checking the patient's blood sugar and making treatment decisions, but it is not recommended for diagnosis10. Therefore, in this study, assessment and control of diabetic patients is ...
Among the diagnostic methods, mammography cannot detect benign, malignant lesions and even up to 25% of cancers. A biopsy is also necessary to confirm the diagnosis5. Detection of cell surface biomarkers as well as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is a non-invasive way to diag- nose ...
Meaning These findings suggest that a low-carbohydrate diet, if sustained, might be a useful dietary approach for preventing and treating type 2 diabetes, but more research is needed. Abstract Importance Low-carbohydrate diets decrease hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) among patients with type 2 diabetes at ...
