FRUCTOSAMINE, SERUM / PLASMA EDTA
Interpretation(s)
FRUCTOSAMINE, SERUM / PLASMA EDTA-
Fructosamine is formed by the non-enzymatic reaction between the carbonyl group of glucose and an amino group of a protein. When fructosamines are formed from
albumin, they are known as Glycated Serum Protein or Glycated Albumin. Serum fructosamine reflects the state of glycemic control for the preceding two weeks.
Fructosamine levels should not be measured as one-time absolute value; rather, the trend should be evaluated as a marker for glycemic control.Fructosamine levels help in
monitoring glycemic control in diabetes, gestational diabetes, and in hemoglobin disorders like anemia or in dialysis patients. Low levels of fructosamine may be observed
despite of poor glucose control in cases of brittle diabetes mellitus (where sugar concentration fluctuates rapidly), nephrotic syndrome or liver diseases where total serum
protein concentrations are sub-normal (hypoproteinemia). High levels of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), lipaemia, elevated bilirubin, hemolysis and hyperthyroidism may interfere
with test results. Method: ENZYMATICInterpretation: Fructosamine levels of healthy adults are in the range 122 – 236 µmol/L. Elevated levels of Fructosamine indicate poor
glycemic control in the patient investigated.
