Does Hb QS-H disease interfere with HbA1c quantification across different detection platforms?
Clinicians should be aware that Hb QS-H disease can cause falsely elevated HbA1c values, highlighting the need to consider hemoglobinopathies when HbA1c does not match the clinical picture.
Our findings demonstrate that Hb QS-H disease significantly interferes with HbA1c quantification, with methodological variability observed across different detection platforms.
Wei et al. (Thu,) conducted a case report in Hb Quong Sze Co-Inherited Thai Deletion with Falsely Elevated HbA1c (n=1). Co-inheritance of Hb Quong Sze and Thai deletion can result in falsely elevated HbA1c values.
