Abstract
A new laboratory standard, specific for HbA1c was prepared by the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine. Consequently, manufacturers will supply their calibrators with the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine standard. Laboratories in Hungary switch to this new method in April 1, 2011. After this date, results of HbA1c measurements will be reported in International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine units (mmol/mol) and in the derived National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program units (%) calculated by master equation from the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine/National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program methods. Using the new standardization the HbA1c measurements will be traceable to the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine reference method and interlaboratory comparisons will be possible.
