Glycohaemoglobin in human blood can be determined by several methods.
We investigated three methods used in daily practice, viz. affinity ch
romatography, HPLC and electrophoresis. We examined the influence of u
raemia in diabetic and non-diabetic patients on the results obtained w
ith HPLC and electrophoresis and compared these with the results obtai
ned with affinity chromatography. Our current method (electrophoresis)
proved to be very sensitive to uraemia giving falsely elevated levels
of HbA1. HPLC was not disturbed by uraemia.
