Fructosamine

What are Antithyroid Antibodies?

Fructosamine is a compound formed by the reaction of proteins with sugar. The levels of fructosamine formed are proportional to the levels of sugar.

Where Used

Fructosamine is used to monitor average blood sugar levels over a period of 2-3 weeks from the time of sampling, compared to the widely used glycosylated hemoglobin HbA1c which measures a period of 15-45 days before sampling.

Its use as an alternative diabetes marker compared to HbA1c is recommended in cases of:

  1. Need for more stringent, time-sensitive control when changing diabetes medications, with immediate assessment of effectiveness
  2. Gestational diabetes (due to its rapid onset and immediate impact on the fetus)
  3. Special types of hemoglobin (including thalassemias)
  4. Children (due to immature hemoglobin)
Reference Values – Normal Laboratory Ranges

For adults, the expected levels in healthy individuals are:

  1. Men: 188-282 μmol/L
  2. Women: 161-351 μmol/L

Fructosamine is an important biochemical marker related to glucose metabolism in the body. The fructosamine test, which is often included in annual health exams, helps evaluate glycemic control and glucose tolerance, as well as monitor potential pathological conditions such as diabetes.

Fructosamine is a glucose metabolite produced in the body during the glycosylation process. During this reaction, glucose binds with fructose, creating fructosamine. Fructosamine appears in the blood and tissues, where it functions as a metabolite and participates in various biochemical processes.

A high concentration of fructosamine may indicate disorders in glucose metabolism and be associated with diabetic neuropathy and other diabetes complications. Additionally, measuring fructosamine can be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment and predict complications in patients with diabetes.

Low fructosamine levels are usually desirable and indicate good glycemic control. However, excessively low levels may be associated with other pathological conditions, such as alcoholic hepatitis.

Fructosamine measurement is usually performed through blood tests using clinical laboratory tests. Results are typically evaluated by specialized physicians or other trained medical personnel, who can provide interpretation and advice on managing the results.

Overall, the fructosamine test is an important tool for monitoring glycemic control and managing diabetes, as well as assessing the risk of complications in patients with diabetes.
