Glycosylated hemoglobin in patients with vitiligo

ABSTRACT

Glycosylated haemoglobin and fasting blood sugar were estimated in 46 vitiligo patients. Results obtained showed that the mean values of the percentages of glycosylated haemoglobin and fasting blood sugar were higher than those in normal subjects. The significance of the difference seems to be dependent on the severity of the illness but not on its duration. A good correlation was found to exist between these two parameters in spite of the fact that their mean values were within the accepted normal levels
