relation between the hemoglobin a1 and fasting serum glucose in non-diabetic patients with chronic renal failure

ABSTRACT

Nondiabetic patients were selected to investigate the relationship between haemoglobin A1 and fasting serum glucose in end stage renal disease. Thirty six patients were undertaken for the study. Four age and three disease groups of the patients were recognized. The results documented statistically significant positive correlation in age groups 6 to 25 years and 46 to 65 years [r= 0.512, p<0.05; r=0.693, p<0.01]. A weak significant direct relationship was also observed in patients with chronic renal failure due to chronic nephritis[r=0.43, p<0.05]. No significant interdependence was observed between haemoglobin A1. and fasting serum glucose in other age and disease groups
