MeSH Heading: Glycated Hemoglobin
Tree Number(s): D09.400.205.625.500.250; D09.400.430.825.500.250; D12.776.124.400.354; D12.776.395.351.500.250; D12.776.422.316.762.350; D23.946.381.625.500.250
Unique ID: D006442
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D006442
Annotation: urine: coordinate with HEMOGLOBINURIA
Scope Note: Products of non-enzymatic reactions between GLUCOSE and HEMOGLOBIN (occurring as a minor fraction of the hemoglobin of ERYTHROCYTES.) It generally refers to glycated HEMOGLOBIN A. Hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) is hemoglobin A with GLYCATION on a terminal VALINE of the beta chain. Glycated hemoglobin A is used as an index of the average blood sugar level over a lifetime of erythrocytes.

Concept UI: M0010114
Scope Note: Products of non-enzymatic reactions between GLUCOSE and HEMOGLOBIN A, occurring as a minor fraction of the hemoglobin components of human erythrocytes. Hemoglobin A1c is hemoglobin A with glucose covalently bound to the terminal VALINE of the beta chain. Glycated hemoglobin A is used as an index of the average blood sugar level over a lifetime of erythrocytes.
