and Complications Trial- Curt L Rohlfing 1 , Hsiao-Mei Wiedmeyer, Randie R Little et al; Diabetes Care. 2002 Feb;25(2):275-8.
HbA1c is formed by the reaction of glucose with the N-terminal amino group of the Adult hemoglobin (HbA) beta chain. The Diabetes Control
and Complications Trial (DCCT) Research Group previously reported a relationship between percent HbA1c and mean blood glucose levels
during the preceding 2-3 months. The DCCT study also demonstrated that long-term control of diabetes can prevent complication such as
cardiovascular disease, retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy.
Measurement of percent HbA1c is the method of choice for monitoring therapy of diabetic patients.
The percentage is expressed as a percentage of total circulating Haemoglobin. In the presence of Hb Variants other than HbA (normal Adult
Haemoglobin) e.g. in various haemoglobinopathies the results cannot be compared to the DCCT guidelines for control and cut-offs will be
lower.

Interpretation
Expected Values:
98 % of Healthy Males 0.0-5.0 ng/ml
78.5 % of Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy 0.0-5.0 ng/ml
72.3 % of Prostatic Carcinomas Above 5.0 ng/ml
PSA is a reliable Tumour Marker for already diagnosed Prostatic Carcinomas. Though present in many tissues including breast, salivary
glands, etc., the major site of PSA production is the granular epithelium of the prostate glands. PSA is, therefore remarkably specific for the
prostate. Baseline levels measured prior to therapeutic intervention, and followed later by the serial, periodical measurement will predict the
outcome of the therapy. It also helps in early discovery of recurrences, relapses and metastases. Recommended testing intervals:
In general, Tumour Marker levels are directly related to the Tumour mass and the stage of the cancer. However, it is the rate of
change of the Tumour Marker level, which is more important, rather than its absolute value. A 50 % change may be considered clinically
significant. It must be emphasized that PSA may also be elevated in Benign Prostatic hypertrophy and inflammatory conditions of the
surrounding Genito Urinary Tract. Therefore, this parameter should never be used as a screening test for diagnosing Prostatic Carcinomas,
but only as an aid in follow up studies.
Caution: The concentration of PSA in a given sample, determined with assays from different manufactures, can vary due to differences in
methodology and reagent.
Specifically: Values obtained with different assay methods cannot be used inter changeably.
Results reported by a laboratory must include identity of the PSA assay used.
