The fructosamine test measures glycated proteins (not glycated hemoglobin) that circulate in the blood for only 14 to 21 days. Measuring these proteins provides a picture of the amount of sugar in your blood for just that time period.
Fructosamine (1-amino-1-deoxy fructose), is a stable ketoamine, formed by the reaction between glucose and the amino group of protein (predominantly albumin, but also including globulins and lipoprotein).
Fructosamines are compounds that result from glycation reactions between glucose and a primary amine, followed by isomerization via the Amadori rearrangement.
Fructosamine is a measure of your 2-3 week average blood sugar levels. It is used in diabetics to help monitor changes in glucose over time. However, many health conditions other than diabetes can affect fructosamine levels. Keep reading to learn more about high and low fructosamine levels and how to improve them.
Reference Range. A serum fructosamine (a glycated protein) level, similar to a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level, enables assessment of long-term glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus....
Fructosamine has not gained as much popularity as glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) for diabetes mellitus (DM) control monitoring, and the related underlying reasons remain unclear. We aim to search for and summarise available evidence on the accuracy of fructosamine measurements to diagnose and monitor DM. Methods and analysis This systematic ...
In the present study, we aimed to estimate serum FA levels, albumin-corrected fructosamine (AlbF) levels, and total protein-corrected fructosamine levels (PrF) in cases of DM and healthy controls and compare the values of both groups.
Fructosamine is a glycemic biomarker which may be useful for indication and control of diabetes respectively. The objective of the study was to evaluate fructosamine as an indicator of hyperglycaemia and glucose control in subjects with diabetes. ...
The fructosamine test is a measurement of glycated protein which is formed by a nonenzymatic reaction of serum proteins with glucose. However, glycated albumin (GA) is the major component of fructosamine because albumin represents 60-80% of the total protein in the plasma..
Fructosamine is a measurement of intermediate-term glycaemic control (i.e. 7–14 days) and is a measure of the ketoamines formed by the non-enzymatic glycation of serum proteins [66].
